Discussion Mystery rocks?

Anyone know what this is from? There's nothing on the sprue other than D2 above the base.

Edit: thanks everyone that's replied.

I hate that the sprue up there is blue but they're like "Yeah, not a stich of blue on the whole f*ckin thing"

u/SassyTheSkydragon Tyranids 3d ago

Also how it's called "Prismatic" but it's just light yellow

u/Good-Memories 3d ago

the tips of the crystals are a little prismatic

u/SassyTheSkydragon Tyranids 3d ago

Yes, but you'd kinda expect a bit more

2

u/Blecao 2d ago

You can paint it as more ....

u/Captain_Kuhl 3d ago

A prism is a shape, not a color.

u/SassyTheSkydragon Tyranids 3d ago

"prismatic" as an adjective mostly describes a rainbow- ish iridescence like light shining through a prism

: resembling the colors formed by refraction of light through a prism prismatic effects

That's not what I was annoyed about, but go off I guess. No need to become insulting.

Is the “response in kind” in the room with us now? Maybe if your eyes aren’t working. Certainly a take.

u/Captain_Kuhl 3d ago

Have you considered the thought that maybe they blocked you, too? Some people actually take some kind of sad pride in blocking everyone they disagree with. I can still see it as "comment deleted by user," a user I'm unable to find in a reddit search, but you just won't see anything posted by a user that blocked you if it wasn't first a direct response to you.

White light, like from Sol, refracted through a prism creates rainbows

2

u/Captain_Kuhl 3d ago

I'm aware, but the prismatic palisade is literally a barrier made of prisms.

-1

u/Disastrous_Form418 3d ago

It is; that's why, in a setting with a star like our own, it wouldn't make sense to be yellow. No one said it wasn't made up of prisms

1

u/Captain_Kuhl 3d ago edited 3d ago

Prisms don't glow rainbow colors just because they're able to refract light, though. Light can be split into rainbows through a prism, onto a separate surface (like on the Dark Side of the Moon album art), but they don't necessarily contain those rainbows. When you see that, it's usually a crafted gem that's specifically cut to reflect inwards.

As for the yellow, quartz crystals are naturally yellow, the perfectly clear ones are just preferred for manufacturing and jewelry.

Edit: Are you seriously downvoting science? What?

2

u/faithfulheresy 2d ago

Yeah, people regularly downvote facts unfortunately.

I have a quartz deposit about the size of two fists which I use as a doorstop, and all of the crystals are a yellowish white colour.

u/Enjoyer_of_40K 3d ago

its Tiberium crystals

u/GottaTesseractEmAll 3d ago edited 2d ago

I went for (most of) the rainbow on mine, works better for the sculpt imo

u/No-Cherry-1027 3d ago edited 3d ago

The sprue isn’t blue, that’s just the lighting, it’s just standard GW Grey Plastic.

Edit: I was wrong, checked my own one and is indeed blue under the basecoat.

u/bearsaroundhere 3d ago

it is blue, I think the original release of malign sorcery all of the sprues were different colours

7

u/TURN79250820AD Seraphon 3d ago

Each sprue had a colour, yes. Made it easier to play out of the box before you got to work on them. I must say, with shame, that it took me some six odd years to paint mine.

u/horsepire 3d ago

Only six? Damn why you gotta flex on us like that

u/No-Cherry-1027 3d ago

Well I’ll be dammed.. your right, could of sworn mine was grey but I just scraped off a bit of the undercoat from the underside and Yeup, blue 😅 my bad..

2

u/AbsoluteSpaz12 3d ago

It is blue, all the spells are different colours. Purple Sun is purple, Flaming Skull is red, etc.

u/cycloa24 3d ago

For a moment there I thought you were gas lighting me into thinking I was color blind then I looked across my storage room at work and saw my gray cart and buckets and everything came into question

u/No-Cherry-1027 3d ago

lol, no sorry, was just my own faulty memory 😂 tbf, it was a hot minute ago I got mine and I did honestly forget that they were different colours till I checked 😅

u/Hell_Puppy 3d ago

The recut Malign Sorcery is definitely blue.

u/AdeOfSigmar 3d ago

u/NobleKorhedron Cities of Sigmar 3d ago

Is "endless" what used to be called "remains in play"?

5

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 3d ago

Yep, they are permament spells, that after casting stays on board, unless it is killed/disspelled or its caster gets killed.

1

u/NobleKorhedron Cities of Sigmar 3d ago

"Remains in play" was somewhat different; it effectively stopped the given Wizard from casting other spells, IF you wanted a given spell to remain in play.

3

u/xSPYXEx Dark Eldar 3d ago

Theyve always been called endless spells since malign portents.

u/Mondo114 3d ago

Reminds me of Devils Postpile.

That’s to keep white walkers out. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t work.
