"Paladin" build?

[MrFrengLitch]

Hey

Im new to the warhammer series. What would be the equivalent of a paladin build?
Melee tank that can does some magic and has good "charisma"?

[Rex is back, baby!]

Vanguard. Start as Officer if you want to be more support. Start as Warrior if you want to be more martial.

Biomancy psyker Officer/Warrior-Vanguard. One of the companions has this role.

[Drake]

You would want to pick sanctic psyker discipline too, for the smite.
And start as sansctioned psyker origin, no paladin would be unsanctioned, that would be heresy.

[Dryden]

Sanctic psyker, officer + vanguard is practically the closest you’ll get to being a paladin.

[MrFrengLitch]

Alright then. santic psyker officer vanguard it is. Thanks!

Just concurring on this that Sanctic Psyker Officer Vanguard is the way you want to go to be a Paladin. You're something of an off-tank, you buff/support the team, and you throw out some really impressive amounts of righteous holy damage. There's quite a good guide on Youtube discussing the build.

i would think biomancer. it has lots of healing skills

Paladins are not healers though. They are holy warriors who smite evil. Healing is secondary and only in service to more destruction.

Warrior with Sanctic Psyker Origin and Vanguard advanced archetype

I would go with a biomancer warrior. You can go full melee with force swords and charge around beating people up with psy-enhanced melee weaponry. The only downside is that there is a companion that essentially has this build already. Officer doesn't really make sense to me.

Worst thing about picking Sanctioned Psyker is that you are stuck wearing ugly robes for the entire game. Sure you can put some armor on top of it but it still sucks. Commissar looks way cooler.

Psyker, Sanctic spec and then Soldier>Vanguard. use a 2 hander weapon (better retribution damage from vanguard)
use alternate stat points into Toughness/Fellowship but make sure to reach 45 STR asap to get heavy armor.
Make sure to pick at least 1 other Leader with you in the team.

you can scale damage pretty high pretty fast later on.

good luck doing space battle on unfair, you need to basically switch to normal or lower to deal with those, otherwise you get one tapped when you engage in space battle, there is no cheese in space.

He made a space combat video a couple hours ago lucky you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t95q6GI7kQw Also Soldier cannot become Vanguard so that is impossible. I assume you meant Warrior?

I think that's a safe assumption considering Soldier is ranged so that would be about as far away as you could get from a Paladin.

Warrior psyker is how you do it. Enhanced force weapons is basically about as close as you can get to holy imbued weaponry.
