so my Ecl is 15 for the character I am building is a Nercomancer style cleric and I plan to pick out a undead cohort through undead leader ship.

I am willing to add a template to make it strong her up to +2la

I want to be able to hide the fact that it will be an undead

Large size creatures ok.

As a weapon wielder you will want to avoid any undead that comes with natural weapon goodies like Ghouls. This leaves combat utility undead(my mind is blanking on any that pass as living) and necropolitian(the "add Undead to a non undead" template).

Race: A Necropolitian(Libris Mortis) Incarnate Construct(Savage Species) Maug(Fiend Folio) for a total LA+1*
Classes: Warblade 5 / Warhulk 4 / continue with Warblade

*The interesting tale of a construct made flesh that resorted to necromantic means to regain some of their former nature (Undeath and life as twisted mockeries of Construct rather than the usual undeath as a twisted mockery of life).

He will be a battle crazed warrior that loves to fight strong warriors, even better if its a strong paladin

Gravetouched Ghoul is a pretty good LA +2 template, and the things it can be applied too are quite interesting (Gravetouched Ghoul Will o' Wisp comes up often).

slap it on a giant and fill the rest with antipaladin, barbarian or fighter levels.
