i'm looking for a class/feats/anything for a 3.5 E6 game
(with higher level class features being available via feat)
that focuses around raising and controlling masses of minions.
i'd prefer a necromancy/undead style, but i'm having trouble finding decent classes.
the best i could find was a Cleric/Wizard1(for UA necro specialist options)
or a Dread Necromancer.
but both of those have a hard cap based off of HD/class level,
(and high XP/GP costs).

homebrew etc... is good. my DM is pretty loose about it,
as long as the cheese doesn't start to smell too bad.

The Death Master base class has Rebuke Undead, an Undead Minion, Animate Dead as a 2nd level spell (Precocious Apprentice anyone?), and Command Undead as a 2nd level spell.

Cloistered Cleric 2/DN 1/Master of Shrouds 3

Gets you full rebuking, but doesn't get you animate dead. You can use DMM and fell animate to get zombies at low levels though.

Shadows will be pretty devastating though and you get plenty of summons and out of combat healing for your minions.

You might want to try to get your DM to change the prereqs for Master of Shrouds though, as they are fairly ludicrous (Literally the two feats do nothing. Augment summoning grants strength and con while incoporeal undead have neither...) maybe replace them with corpse crafter and a divine feat?

For homebrew there is my own class here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195580).
