Victrix Normans for #SagaWargame. I gave most of the mailed knights some colour in their helmets to match their shields, and tried to show spangenhelms with horn and leather plates instead of metal on two foot of the serjeants. #wargaming #DarkAges #EarlyMediaeval

The Dalserf #hogback with its fine tegulation! More restrained than its cousins at @govanstones.bsky.social but still splendid #viking #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry

For #StandingStoneSunday, here's the Logie Elphinstone 2 #Pictish symbol stone. A very odd shape, with two sets of super-imposed symbols and a circular #ogham. What's not to like?! #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry

The “gingerbread man” #hogback stone from St Oswald’s Church, Lythe. Reminds me of the figure style at Heysham. #viking #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry @govanstones.bsky.social

Here's the back face of Sueno's Stone in #Forres rendered from a decimated model made from 914 scans (around 440m triangles). We acquired and processed this #3d #laserscanning dataset in 2004. #3d #Pictish #earlymediaeval

Here's the Craw Stane standing just outside Rhynie. This is a #3d #photogrammetry capture from 2023, though we did #laserscan Rhynie 2 and 3 in the village square all the way back in 2002! The #Pictish symbols on this probably reused #megalith are superb #earlymediaeval

Here's the Peterhead #Pictish Class I symbol stone, also a reused #megalith. The stone stands at the head of Gleneagles. My photo is from 1994, the render is from our 2001 #3d #laserscan showing the weathered goose and rectangle symbols #earlymediaeval

Here's one of the three stones inside the Broomend of Crichie henge. This #megalith has been reused in #Pictish times has now sports two fine symbols #3d #photogrammetry #earlymediaeval

Here's a little-known cross slab remnant from Lochwinnoch and part of the @govanstones.bsky.social school. This is the Dumb Proctor stone featuring a snake boss similar to the Govan Sunstone, a horseman and a large figure on the reverse. #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry

For #StandingStoneSunday, here’s the Govan Sunstone, a reused #megalith. If you’re looking for an unusual Xmas gift, we sell perfect miniatures of these for @govanstones.bsky.social at store.archaeoptics.co.uk #earlymediaeval #viking

Here’s a render of all 4 sides of the Nethertoun Cross, one of the weirder @govanstones.bsky.social School (or maybe Whithorn) outliers. Bird-headed figures? Odd spirals? Dodgy interlace? Geometric stuff? This has it all! #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry

For #StandingStoneSunday, here's one of the megaliths from Broomend of Crichie near Inverurie. This #megalith has been adapted with two fine #Pictish symbols. The stone circle also lies within a small henge with outlying stones nearby #earlymediaeval #3d #photogrammetry
