Description
Starcraft 2: Protoss Phase Prism ver. 1Modeled and Textured by Phill Gonzales
This is a very early version of the Protoss Phase Prism which was originally a Dark Templar manufactured ship. The original intention in SC2 was to mix a significant amount of Dark Templar units and buildings into the Protoss army to make it more visually unique. The early Dark Templar art was purple metal, green crystals, leaner shapes and more relics like Samwise's concepts. The consensus was the visual style was too contrasting to the gold Protoss art, and even mistakenly Zerg-like at times. The Phase Prism was rebuilt as a High Templar ship, and eventually the Dark Templar stylings were made more platinum as they appear in the final game today.

I would've liked to see a Reaper-like Protoss unit, as the faction could have early stage 'evolution paths'.
-Light: Defensive forces, mostly for defence and heavy strikes.
-DARK: Invisible bases, all buildings can shoot little damaging stuff, mostly quick, surgical strike units.
This 'Protoss Reaper' of yours could be their Colossus, and it could fly.

I'd love to see more scrapped models! Too bad only a few of them sneak into the game files.

There are plenty more, but I have to withhold them because there is a possibility they'll return for LotV!

This is pretty sweet. It gives off a Xel'Naga vibe. You can tell the model is based on the Stalker.

Yeah, I wish we took one more shot on the Phase Prism and made it Dark Templar styled.

I don't know why but i have a weird mental image of it being a stealth air unit that had an attack similar to the colossus, but blue.
