I can confirm that Mal's tables contain rocks of many different colours.Buff Redux wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:37 pm This isn't the full Mal Wright rant but I was just looking at the artwork in the new Frostgrave rulebook. The new illustrator is from Spain and her first picture is a landscape full of rich terracotta tones covered in snow. It looks amazing.

Why are rocks & ruins nearly always grey?

This is a section of stonework from within our house. It wouldn’t seem unreasonable for ruins to be grey based on this

Here's a selection of colour images from Normandy https://time.com/92783/d-day-color-phot ... -normandy/ various shades of gray, brown, red and ochre, depending upon the stone & brick.

Is it irrelevant to bring up the colour of belly-button fluff? (usually blue).

The handles on those Royal Armouries pikes look surprisingly curvy. Maybe those Minifigs 15mm pikemen were a lot more accurate than we thought......

The ones on my Minifigs resembled cooked spaghetti. They were promptly replaced with proper (& properly sharp) ones made from florists wire.
Re: Why are rocks & ruins nearly always grey?
Our rocks are quite black because we burn people I mean things on them.
We had a sheep kidnapped from the nearby sheepfield a few days ago, shot in a different field, gutted and remains left behind. But that's nothing to do with rocks, sorry.

Response to OP: because they look OK like that, and stand out nicely from green and brown terrain.
Some people are fundamentally modellers who care a lot and will buy and use the correct rock-weathering paint set for the specific location their terrain represents.
Some are primarily wargamers who are willing to give it some thought, but are fundamentally OK with a rock being grey.
There might be people who fall into both camps, who knows?
