Not the dwarf this time but the high elf and so called "greatest" champion of Ulthuan.
How would one go about to make him?
He swings his 2 handed sword, check.
Wields large heavy armor, check.
Sounds like a 2H fighter to me except that being the badass that slays sorcerer warriors and other magical beings.
So how do I make him come around as this great warrior who defends Ulthuan? A paladin? Or what should I choose?
Ah. I know 40k better.
Well, this PC can't be too close to the core material, unless the DM is allowing evil PCs.
Warhammer has no good characters.
That depends on your perspective and definition of "good".
The High Elves are quite "good" by not being the supremacist scum all the time and actually battling the forces of chaos instead of trying to conquer any of the younger races. Aiding humans trading etc.
Also Sigmar was "very good" from the perspective of humans.
Uhmm re-reading it after a long time on my codex I think it might be a combination of Cavalier/Paladin and Slayer, with some very powerful, almost artifact-like equip.
( NOTE : i got the 7th edition army book for reference )
his stats are very high, and they talk about that even the phoenix king bow to him on warfare, so focus on Str, Des and Cha
his steed is a legendary Elven Steed ( Cavalier's Mount or Paladin Divine Bond )
for the Equip:
- Sunfang is a greatsword forged to fight demons of Chaos. Its runes stores the power of the sun. Sounds like a Holy Flaming Glorious Greatsword, with the power to emit a breath weapon attack 1/day
half fire/half divine- The Dragon Armor of Aenarion is a special Dragonhide armor that Gives Fire Immunity and DR, maybe some extra ability to improve ST
- The Heart of Avelorn is a Necklace that gives spell resistance, Constant Protection from Evil and Regeneration
Aside from the artifact from his legends I'll go with Paladin( one archetype without spells, maybe in exchange for fighter only feats ) / Slayer ( Vanguard Archetype ), Power Attack, Furious Focus and the rest.
Hmm yeah he would have loads of artifact level items.
But mostly was just considering what his class and it's abilities would be. If Paladin maybe an oath of vengeance? The Vanguard does seem like a good dip and reasonable especially lore wise.

Well, 40k Eldar are not really "good", in my opinion.
At least, not Pathfinder Alignment "good".
I finished all of the "Blood of Aenarion" Trilogy and the "End of Times" series.
He has a very interesting path. So it kind of depends when in his life you are playing him.
Fighter early.
Paladin Mid to Late.
And other options and explanations in spoiler.
Also Sunfang is a one hander in the novels
Fighter at the beginning of his career, when he would get into scuffles (duel and kill nobles) and carouse with ladies below his station.
He then probably could retrain those lvls into Paladin when he became the Everqueen's consort and fought a BBEG Demon T'kari Uncle Makekith, Witch-King of the dark elves.
Then comes his fall to Anti-Paladin when Morathi (Malekith's mom, seriously weird blood lines) seduces him and turns him evil and he pulls the Warp sword of Khaine.
Also I don't see a way to do it unless you have some epic point buy. His only low Stat wold be Wisdom, because he's impulsive.

Yeah GW's story lines were always a diceroll of d6 where 1/6 is great and 5/6 ranging from not so great to horrendous like our Spiritual Liege and his holy texts.
A lot of cocaine.
Silly BBT, he asked for Tyrion, not Snowflame.
