Here's a couple of reviews:

If you look down the left hand side of the "Products" page of their website (http://www.rubiconmodels.com/products.php) it seems to suggest they're going to be doing a lot of these kits and for a variety of nations. Could be interesting!

As you say, price is essential, I have seen the Warlord Sherman for £14 online.

I game with NWE Brits and I do not think they used the M4A3, I suppose I could buy some Yanks though?

They look good, hopefully they'll produce some more obscure vehicles!

And in their forum they say £20 - that's the usual range of Warlord prices  Let's wait and see, they are planning to release the models later this month

As you get a hell more of options out of these tanks and they also look better than the WG ones by the looks of it 20,- quid seems fair to me.

Very interesting range indeed, looking forward to what's next :-)
