Okay so I'm rolling up a Half-Orc Reanimated Medium just for fun. (The archetype is for flavor and I can pick the Deathless Initiate Chain a bit later) I want to Primarily use the Marshal Spirit and be a Face/Bruiser, but will glady use other spirits based on the situation. Here's what I have so far, thanks for looking. I'm planning up to Level 12.
Half-Orc Reanimated Medium 2/Armored Hulk 1/Reanimated Medium X
Stats:
Str: 18
Dex: 10
Con: 14
Int: 12
Wis: 8
Cha: 16
Feats:
1- Endurance (Bonus), Toughness
3- Extra Rage (This is the Barbarian Dip)
5- Diehard
7- ???
9- Deathless Initiate
11- Improved Critical (Falchion)
12- ???
What do you guys think? I have the character statted out for Level 1 here if you want to see some of the stats.
Yes, he worships Gorum. :)
With a solid bonus to charisma skill checks I'd consider trying to use intimidate in combat. Enforcer is just one feat and either a merciful weapon or a sap (a sap as a backup weapon presumably... dunno.) Power Attack & Cornugon Smash is two but probably easier to make use of for this character.
A steelblood bloodrager is the direct equivalent of an armored hulk barbarian. d10 instead of d12 hit die sadly, a 1st level bloodline power (or a bloodline familiar) and the ability to take the mad magic feat to cast while raging are the differences; to me that makes the steelblood a better dip for you. Undead might be an appropriate bloodline with a useful 1st level power.

You're right, I'm taking Steelblood. I think I might take Elemental or Infernal bloodline. I think I'll pick up enforcer as well. I envision this character as having a Merciful Falchion because he likes gladitorial combat. And if you knock them out there's always coup de gras.
I also think I'll drop Improved Critical. By the time I could get it I could easily afford a Merciful Keen Falchion.
