Greetings all. My group is starting a new game and we are allowed to make a deity (if we like) to follow. I am making the God of War, he is neutral evil, but I am honestly just stuck on the build. We get 30-40 level and the DM will do the divine rank stuff after.
So if you were going to build a level 40 God of War, what build would you use? They aren't really going to see play so it doesn't have to be too crazy, but he is a god.

So you do 40 levels and after that you get Divine ranks, do I understand you correctly?
Okay, how about one of two options:
1) Simples possible, this is a crazy maniac who likes to fight more than anything else, he's like Marvel Comics' Ares, as in, he's like this:
"Now, as the learned bookworms among you may know, two Gods of War hail from Olympus. We have divergent interests. The chain of command. Rules of engagement. This Geneva Convention thing. Medical evac. Supply lines. The white flag. The Red Cross. Worrying about evacuees and refugees. Taking prisoners. Losing the battle but winning the war. Cursed diplomats. The proper standard of grooming. Sensibe things like having enough bullets before you go into battle. That's the dung my sister cares about. I'm the other God of War."
- Ares, Dark Avengers: Ares.
If so, I would suggest simples build possible - Barbarian 20/Frenzied Berserker 10/War Hulk 10.
2)Another possibility is somebody who sees war as source of fame and glory, somebody whose followers starts wars for glorious battles, but have set of rules they follow - they won't do things that won't bring them glory, like raping or killing surrendering enemies, killing children and pregnant women - you know, bad guys with standards. They should be technicans - they study fighting techniques and dedicate their lives to improve their skills, so they can have more glorious victories, and so is their god. In that case build would be more dificult - I would suggest Warblade 10/Crusader 5/Swordsage 5/Eternal Blade 10/ Bloodclaw Master 5/Master of Nine 5 or some other combination of ToB classes and PrCs. (Also, Elvish Evil God of War Would be Amusing)
And sugggestion - make thsi god be a woman.

For a God of War, with War, Domination, and Glory?
Warblade5, Warmage5, Jade Phoenix Mage10, Cleric 5, Ruby Knight Vindicator 10 (ignore patron and alignment requirements) and Legendary Leader (Heroes of Battle) 5.
Initator level 25. 13th caster level warmage, 13th caster level Cleric, and Legendary Leader because a God of War better Damn Well be able to lead as well as fight. Cleric because a bit of divine casting when you're a divine entity is expected, and Warmage because it's a god of War, not just Fighting, and ignoring the warfare potential of arcanum is foolhardy in a 3.5 setting of almost any sort. I'd consider a bit of either Rogue or Swordsage dipped at some point, maybe eating a warblade level or two to represent the mundane aspects, but the sneaky-stabby bit may go against the Glory part unless Victory is the only Glory you need.
Edit: I realized that one could qualify for JPM at 5th level by Warmage4/Warblade1 because of the Initiator Multi-class rules, so
Warmage4 (4)
Warblade1 (5)
JPM10 (15)
Cleric3 (18)
Ruby Knight Vindicator (28)
Legendary Leader (33)
Dread Commando (38)
w/e 2, really not sure what has two levels or a pair of one-level dips that scream WAR.
