My New COA

[Sir Edward]

Are you guys going this weekend?

Still figuring that out. The weather looks great, but we also haven't taken a weekend off from faire since the MDRF season started. I'll know soon.

[Sir Brian]

I'll be there Sunday...going Teutonic while my wife will wear her German frauline garb.

[Sir William]

One of my coworkers is gonna be there on Sunday; seems one of her friends is debuting for the first time as part of the cast so she's going to support her girl.  Not sure if I wanna go as a Crusader, Templar or a knight-errant.  That last one just means I have no charge, no coat of arms.  Yet.  Or a shield...need a shield for that one too.

It really gets costly when you start adding in multiple personae, doesn't it?  lol

[Sir Edward]

Hehe, yeah, that's why I didn't keep up with my Templar stuff and just focused on my own colors and heraldry. It's more personal, and keeps it "simple" to just have one set of details to worry about. But that all expands out again when you get more than one kit from different points in time.

I'm still not sure if we'll be there this weekend, since we didn't get a chance to talk about it last night. I'm shooting for Sunday, but just not sure yet.

HAH tell me about it

[Sir William]

Well, my wife mentioned going this weekend...as its gonna be warmer tomorrow (80s) I might opt for a Sunday outing, if at all.  Barring that, will definitely be there for 10/16.

I made the Templar gear more than it should've been...it could've been simple with a hauberk and (maybe) chausses.  I really got the plate parts for my next year's persona (was supposed to be THIS year but funds ran short prior to season's start so...) so I'm looking fwd to completing that.

[Sir Brian]

Well here is a couple of pictures of my new shield with my CoA...first coat of paint on the charges.

[Sir Edward]

Looking good! I can't wait to see it all together with a new surcoat.

[Sir Ancelyn]

Awesome Brian!

[Sir Patrick]

Sweeeet!

[Sir Patrick]

Did you debut the new shield at MDRF over the weekend, or are you waiting until the surcoat's done?

[Sir Brian]

No I'm waiting for the new surcoat and the new helm to be done first. I still have a second coat of paint to put on the charges and then seal the paint before the shield is ready for the public anyways.
 

Of course I'm still kicking around the idea of adding scales to my aventail whenever that arrives! 

[Sir Edward]

Have you tried Blazoning it yet? I forget.

I was thinking it might be something along the lines of Vert, a griffin segreant or, on a chief wavy argent a rose to dexter sable.

The rose would be "to dexter" I think, because plants are assumed to be upright (as are swords and weapons).

[Sir Edward]

Vert, a gryphon or segreant. On a chief wavy argent, a rose sable.

Ah that's right, you did blazon it earlier in the thread. "Segreant" should come before "or" since the color is last. You might be able to leave out the "to dexter" I added in my previous post, since the chief itself is horizontal. It's amazing how complex this stuff can get.

[Sir Brian]

Ok the blazon program confirmed my blazonry skills are sadly lacking! The program blazoned my new COA as follows: 
Vert, on a Chief wavy Argent, a rose Sable, a Gryphon Segreant Or

Yeah I posted a follow up after I used that blazon program you linked me to and you are right that is puts the color last and YES this heraldry stuff can easily become convoluted!
