[QUOTE="Tinner, post: 5750930, member: 19667"] How about something like these? Fighters with the Phalanx Fighter Archetype, using Halberds and Tower Shields. They're trip specialists, and make good use of teamwork feats to drop opponents within their reach and then punish them when they rise, or simply slaughter them if they stay down. Give them some favorable terrain like a nice chokepoint to defend, and let the Witch Queen throw spells and hexes over them while they keep the melee fighters off of her.
