I currently have a Bladeforged that I'm going ITR. I need a fighter past life and want to remain a warforged since my TR Casche is filled with docents. I thought maybe a Bladeforged Fighter build might be fun and was wondering if there are any existing builds out there. Don't know if it helps but past lives so far are wizard, barbarian and soon to be bladeforged/paladin.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

This is roughly what I used awhile ago when I did a bladeforged fighter for a past life. (I think the epic feats may have been somewhat different.)
In epics twist in the turn undead ability from divine crusader so you can use divine might. (So don't spend the AP's in KoTC till you get to level 20)
Make sure you hit power surge before divine might to maximize your strength bonus.
This was before reaper so I don't know how it would perform there.
Riftmaker and the docent from search and rescue make nice items to have right off the bat and can last you at least until level 20 if not a bit beyond.

However, if this is just for another ITR, you probably don't want to pay for an LR +1, so ftr 18 / pal 2 would work. I would also consider dusting off the classic ftr 12 / monk 6 / pal 2 of the previous Cetus build (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/433254-Cetus-The-Supreme-Bladeforged-Fighter).

I dusted off my Cetus build recently, can't leave a ESoS collecting dust for too long. I was pleased with how well it still holds up in EE to low R's content. I'll admit he is lacking in lives to make him a lil more durable but he still works well.
