I’ve seen these doing the rounds on Facebook, presumably, someone who got their hands on them early or got an early sample of the upcoming month’s wargames illustrated, not seen anything saying they are metal, they look more like plastic to me as the base is incredibly smooth, you’d see some pitting in a metal cast, at least the sculpting is the same style as their plastic stands.

The same poster suggested a Feb 22 release, which matches roughly what they did for ACW.

I can say with 99% certainty that it will be waterloo and it will be in plastic for the core box based on a few sources 😉

I’d expect the same pricing, £25 for the core plastic sets (French/British infantry), £45 for metal (more unique regiments e.g. the old guard).

I’ve not really got a problem with the scale being different, there’s been plenty of choice in either 10mm or 15mm for years, I don’t think these Epic Battles are intended to be anything more than a “battle” in a box range with a few waves of expansions, I very much doubt it will cover anything out of the 100 days period, maybe longer term they may add a few other noticeable battles but I doubt that will be seen before the next Epic Battles ranges come out.
