So I'm working on my first ever melee focused character for Soci3ties, and I've taken much inspiration from the OrkNobz and Warbosses from Warhammer 40k. To that end, I'm trying to make a big shouty guy with a big weapon and and an even bigger banner who gives tactical advantages while "leading by example" and smashing faces on the front line.
So far I know that I want to start with Order of the Cockatrice for at least two levels for the quick Dazzling Display and I'll likely take Arcane Stiker Bard levels to further increased shoutiness while downplaying the magical and skillmonkey aspects. This slips into the Battle Herald prestige class.
What I'm looking for is advice on filling in the details of the build. Any suggestions on feats, teamwork feats, or any other fun tricks? I'm also somewhat open to single classing Cavalier; the boost to Challenge seems delicious, even if the mount is too asymmetrical with usual PFS teams/dungeons and I have no interest in Lance Supercharges.
Look into the Exemplar Brawler. It also gets bardic performance, but is a more fighty type person, no magic and not as skillmonkey as the bard.
How do you want your combat to be? Do you plan on being mounted, or trying to work mostly off your mount? What kind of weapon do you want to be using?

Planning on footslogging, all the better to be stuck in the thick of it. Most likely in full plate. I like the idea of a mount, but I wouldn't want to base a character around it and the limited options for Cavaliers is a bit of a downer.
For weapons, I'm thinking a nice big 2hander. Greataxe is quite iconic, but high crit weapon is fine too. As a backup melee he's going to rock an oversized adamantine spiked gauntlet because that's about as close as I can get to a pneumatic Power Klaw.
I'll look into that brawler archetype. Thanks for the tip!
