In regards to your "Heraldry should be simple" point, my old man told me why he chose a very, very basic indicator for making sure his round baler was centered on a swath of cut hay (so it didn't turn out lopsided) rather than the much more versatile "Bale command unit" with all kinds of settings, screens and indicator lights to give a lot of information as to the status of the baler and the hay. He said "If you have more complexity in something, that means there's more to go wrong". And that applies to a lot of things, actually.
Man I wish there was a group in a club where I lived I can join and get patches. I really appreciated the info to thank you Captain Xavier I love medieval information like that. I want to start my own group but I don't know even the game types / variations, or how many people are even required as a minimum, to do in hvz or other things
I have a emblem or whatever you want to call it it is black and white with only a line of silver. the shape looks like an arrow head, but it is a little more complicated, but simple you would just have to see it.
I have an idea for the Auxiliary. Why not have an inverted patch colorization (ie: the 2 triangles be black on a white, silver, gold, copper, orange, or yellow background) to be a shadow/stealth squad?
My heraldry for LARP is a enfield with a rose in its mouth in black over an orange background. It has several sneaky political references for modern day. For example the rose is a symbol of resistance and is fitting as my character is a revolutionary. My LARP friends have also agreed to join the crew auxiliary, the swords of the Novis Cohortem is yours to command!!! So I suppose that makes me a squad leader and low ranking officer, correct me if I’m wrong. Btw anyone who’s a minor (it’s a youth group) is welcome to join the Novis Cohortem for during crew auxiliary events!
Sir good stuff Sir. this Trench Fighter(Krieger) is happy to see more content like this. might get one of my old custom logos made to go with the Auxiliary stock
Did the wolf skull with the Aux anti-glass become an official symbol? Also, Jean is in Nova-Scotia, though he mentioned familial ties to Quebec if I remember correctly.
@@CaptainXavier Thanks! I thought of it because the triangles in the Aux logo are the reverse hourglass, which switched to anti-hourglass, which was shortened to anti-glass (all in the course of a few seconds because my brain makes weird connections and has fun with phonetics). I also have the 5280 Ferals patch inbound along with a handle patch from Jean. I'll be sure to post a picture of them on the Aux Facebook when they arrive. Currently, my vest doesn't have velcro on the fromt top right, but my mag pouches have some. Would it work to have a handle patch across the mag pouches? That would place it around lower-mid sternum in front of everything else.
The only problem I have with family crests is that now there are many I guess non related in how wewould go about it in school but many people have the same last name.
Would you be okay with me creating an omega or Farrell squad patch along with others like an individual patch for all the different roles? (Ie hunter/skirmisher, recon, sharpshooter, ect.)
@@CaptainXavier 2 questions before I get going on this project, 1: I know Bret is the leader of Farrell squad but who leads omega squad? 2: can I submit the patches to you via your fanbuilds email?
Does the Auxiliary symbol need to be inside a square or does the background shape not matter? I was thinking about putting the symbol in the corner of a right-angled triangle as part of a battery door paintjob.
I had an idea for a direct plunger power stock with a extended polycarbonate extended plunger rod going out the stock cap on clip system blasters so a k26 taking like alpha trooper. So do you have some feedback?
Does my badge have to be 3D printed I have two logos on my gear and one is a really good-looking cardboard patch with Molly on the back the other ones are fairly large paper logo strapped to my shield
so the feral and omega squads are flash squads. cap if you need me for feral squad or omega squad you will have my blaster. also how would you personally mod a slingfire?
@@CaptainXavier im glad. I just know that the facebook and discord servers got rebranded and the feel changed a lot but i still have my dogtags, my aux callsign patch and my bangarang patch but wanted one of those shield shaped aux patches for my gear and jean is going to be away for a while so not sure when hes going to get back to it.
Yeah, the public facing side has been done away with. It was a bad idea from the get go (a fact I realized far too late). So it has gone back to being mostly a private affair. I put out a Call To Arms whenever I attend an event that I need Auxiliary at and it goes from there.
@@CaptainXavier are there plans to make private/invite only online groups for those interested or is that also considered public facing? no worries either way but i figure that may be a good place to network for things like patches or those still looking for the militia style format.
@captainxavier Do i have your permission to start a sub- auxilary in switzerland? Edit: Made a patch for the Jankdivision (cause I couldnt make a nice one:-( bummer) Edit2: view Patch on reddit on u/Zambieslayer14
Have you considered writing a book? It could be about anything, Nerf, history, modding, characters, or your group. I'd buy it
That would be amazing
I'd buy 10 copies and make my school add it to the summer reading list
@@kabelguy70 how evil.
also you need a patch that says “not getting the vulcan

Very well said.
The arrows are back to back which one could say when your in the auxillary we will always have each other's back
Why doesn’t this have more likes; that’s symbolism that belongs on a good flag!
Very informative, I’m a graphic designer and the patch history info was great.
I am loving this new series, although for battle identification you can find me wearing a COD Ghost mask
"Sable sheaf of spine bones argent."
Every time I hear you say that all I can hear is "Shaka, when the walls fell."

I am enjoying how these training videos are coming out in regular intervals. We will have an Auxiliary Body of Knowledge. An ABOK if you will
im going to make my own patch and probably get one of your patches for my scout loadout
could you sell those
Carter Long possibly in the future
@@adynholden9546 im thinking of being a scout in the next hvz i go to maybe next year
Carter Long I could try and send patterns but I don’t think I can properly produce enough to sell.
@@adynholden9546 ok i would be willing to pay 10$ for a custom one

Nice work. Thank you for the history lesson. I very much enjoyed it.
Keep up the good work.

Trench fighter is Grabenkämpfer in german. Krieger is translated to warrior in english.
Could the auxiliary logo be worn as a mask? Like painting it on a paintball mask?
Absolutely!
Could I have the dimensions of the auxiliary patch for a stencil?
Size doesn't matter. Only the shape matters. The triangles are equilateral.
Good vid, thanks for the info!
Also, the auxiliary symbol still reminds me of the logo for the cartoon Reboot.
Any Australians looking to join in the Ausillary let yourself be known on the Auxiliary group page and we shall add you
🙋♂️
Aw heck yeah! I’ve been waiting for this video!
Ive put an inverted Auxiliary symbol on my kronos (as its a white kronos) and plan to add proper symbols to the rest of my gear as time goes on
Ordered Aux, Omega and bangarang patches from Jean. I look forward to wearing them!
Did the wolf skull with the Aux anti-glass become an official symbol?
Also, Jean is in Nova-Scotia, though he mentioned familial ties to Quebec if I remember correctly.
Not official, no. But I really like it. I also like the term "anti-glass."

you should probably do your homework, it'll be due before Endwar

Feel free. Several people have before. I would be interested to see your take on them.

Captain Xavier Excellent, thanks
2 questions. 1. Would you mind me having embroidered auxiliary patches made. 2. Would you object to me selling them?
Not at all and not at all.
@@CaptainXavier It took me a while, but here it is. burasta.bigcartel.com/product/auxpatch
Some will be on their way to you soon.
Bangarang, Captain!!
I had an idea for a direct plunger power stock with a extended polycarbonate extended plunger rod going out the stock cap on clip system blasters so a k26 taking like alpha trooper. So do you have some feedback?
Another freat video capyain cant wait fot tthe next one
Could you recommend a good website, if there is one, to learn the heraldric language?
Does my badge have to be 3D printed I have two logos on my gear and one is a really good-looking cardboard patch with Molly on the back the other ones are fairly large paper logo strapped to my shield
They can be whatever material you want.
Is there an Aux unit in Australia?
Yes. They call themselves the Ausiliary...and that is awesome.
I just want to say that the Fleur De Mort looks an awful lot like a skeletal Chi-Rho.
Do you have any squads that use a dragon as their patch?
Is the NPC being called a black night a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
No
@@CaptainXavier, drat.
I'm over here trying to make a patch for my (LARP ig) Forward Medic class
so the feral and omega squads are flash squads.
cap if you need me for feral squad or omega squad you will have my blaster.
also how would you personally mod a slingfire?
I would upgrade the spring and possibly the gears and lever.
Does anyone have an updated link to anyone still doing aux patches or is the aux officially deceased?
It is very much not deceased. But I don't know of anyone currently selling patches.
@@CaptainXavier im glad.

Where did you get the bangarang patch?
I printed it.
Is there a link you could send me? Looks lovely.
The Etsy link in the video description. That is the guy who designed it.
Could you take a flywheel out of a rival gun and put it in a nerf gun
Yes. It wouldn't work. But you could do it.
@@CaptainXavier is there any flywheel that will work
...ones that are meant for Nerf blasters tend to work in Nerf blasters...what with being designed for them and all...
@@CaptainXavier ok
Does the auxiliary/crew have a crest?
Yes
BANGARANG!!!!!
Bangarang, Captain
BANGARANG
what about artillery
What about it?
You have a squad dedicated to it
Well...there currently is no real Nerf Artillery so...not yet. If I ever get around to building some, then yes.
@@CaptainXavier awesome
Need to get a couple of these patches before i go to endwar this year.
Im in the aux !!! Im commander cody in discord 😁😁😁😁
