Good melee class for a gestalt artificer?

[Yare]

A player in a campaign I will be running soon wants toplay an artificer and eventually progress into the renegade mastermaker prc. What is a good melee class to gestalt with that will synergize with the artificer's intelligence score?

Feats etc... that make good use of int will work as well. Thanks!

Swashbuckler? Duelist?

Warblade? You'd give a new meaning to the phrase "Iron Heart".

Warblade looks like just the ticket. Thanks a bunch!

Here's what I'm thinking:

Race: Dragonborn Warforged
Classes: Artificer//Warblade
Feats: Adamantine Body, Flyby Attack.

The rest is gravy.
