Other "paladins"?

[Mouseferatu]

I know that Pathfinder core includes the standard LG paladin, and that they've presented the CE antipaladin, but... Do any PF supplements include rules for paladins (or similar holy warriors) of other alignments? I remember D&D 3.5 had some such options, but they were always fringe--Dragon Magazine or Unearthed Arcana--and I don't know if Pathfinder encompasses anything similar.

No.

There are Cavaliers -- which are mounted honor bound (usually) knightly fighters of more varying alignments. But they are not (divine) fighters.

I teased myself with the idea of deconstructing the Paladin along the lines of Green Ronin's Holy Warrior from The Book of the Righteous, but, wow, that seemed pretty daunting once I waded into it and started flowcharting it out, and I wasn't really interested enough in that sort of thing to commit to it.

That sort of concept seems ideal, but the Pathfinder Paladin has perhaps been expanded a bit too much into it's niche to as easily back out and pick apart in that manner, to reassemble into Holy Warriors of other faiths.

The Crown of Thieves Adventure Path (specifically Part 3 - What Lies in Dust) contains rules for the orders of Hellknights, a series of LN/LE knightly orders based in Cheliax in Golarion, which venerate the orderly nature of Hell.

This includes a 15 level prestige class called the Hellknight, which a Fighter could qualify for after level 5, but otherwise might require some multiclassing (or extra feats spent on armour proficiency). The listed members of the orders come from a variety of classes, and don't always have levels in the prestige class.

I seem to remember one or more of the Paizo designers (no quotes available here) mentioning that someone wanting to play a LE holy warrior might reference the Hellknights, or the 3.5 Blackguard, as they specifically wanted the the Anti-Paladin to be CE.

If I were to do so, considering alternate Paladin archetypes, with some reference to Green Ronin's Holy Warrior (as Set noted) might be a good place to start. The Anti-Paladin itself is basically just an alternate Paladin archetype with a bigger writeup.

So to summarize that ramble, Paizo's Pathfinder material does not have any alternate alignment, Paladin-style holy warriors except for the Anti-Paladin.

Hellknight - Pathfinder_OGC (any lawful, gets aura of law, detect chaos, smite chaos, discern lies, and more, but no spell casting)
Holy Vindicator - Pathfinder_OGC (no alignment prerequisite, need divine casting and channel energy to qualify, gets divine spell casting increase)
Chevalier - Pathfinder_OGC (any good, 3lvl prc, aura of courage, smite evil, poison immunity)

The APG offers two classes that can easily have a paladin-like feel, depending on you play them: Order of the Star cavaliers (non-spellcasting, but a smite-like challenge and some class abilities derived from their faith) and inquisitors (detect alignment spells, a smite-like judgement, and bard-like spellcasting). Both can be made to look very much lke a paladin outright, or with necessary alignment and faith changes, can be a holy warrior from any faith.

A cleric heading into the holy vindicator PrC also has a very paladin-like feel.

If you want to expand your reach to include 3rd party, there's a couple of options from Super Genius Games, the Genius Guide to the Templar is one of them, and here's the blurb about Templars vs. Paladins:

Templar vs. Paladin

So, what’s the difference between a templar and a paladin? It’s twofold, and the first is easy to explain. Although a paladin is an exemplar of the forces of good and law, a templar is an agent of divine will closer in scope and concept to a cleric. Any god can have templars, and chaotic good, true neutral, and even lawful evil templars are just as common (possibly even more so) as lawful good examples of the class. The grim warlord who conquers cities for the god of war, the battlefield hospitaller who escorts healers for the god of healing, and the insane pyromaniac determined to burn the world for the god of madness and fire are all examples of templars, though none could possibly qualify as paladins.

Then there's also their "Justicar" variant Inquisitor which is located in Advanced Options: Inquisitors' Judgments. It's basically an Inquisitor minus spellcasting, but plus a full BAB/d10 HD and some extra judgment-related powers.

For this particular purpose, 3pp stuff is out; only Paizo-published material works.

But I really appreciate all the suggestions.

Excellent suggestions. Her are a few links for these, Ari:
Cavalier pfsrd entry (from APG)
Inquisitor pfsrd entry (from APG)

15 level PrC? I assume its a flavor class and does not include the normal bump in power compared to standard classes.
