Farbond Spellblade Longsword, Hide Armor, Heavy Shield. The Farbond let me poach the occassional 'archer ranger' power by flinging my sword at it. 
why don't you poach the occasional warlord ranged power instead? There are some very nice ones, particularly for an int-secondary warlord such as a taclord.
I did, in fact, mean to type 'archer warlord' and not 'archer ranger'. Slip of the brain, my bad. 
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

I should add to my list since it was mentioned above, a greatweapon fighter and a barbarian. The fighter is my go to guy since he manages to hit just about every time.

I have been using a Grasping halberd on my dragonborn warlord. I really like te ability to lockdown a single opponent since my group is fairly squishy. I will be looking to buy a longspear version for the extra hit ability. Honestly, is there any point in the Halberd? it has the exact same stats as the spear except it has less prof. bonus = /

Back when the phb came out, the halberd was one of the only weapons that had reach. Halberds are also an axe so headmans chop works on it, there is the improved crit based on con, dwarves w/ dwarven weapon training get the bonus damage using it. Actually, now that I think about it, because a halberd is a polearm and an axe, a kulkor's polearm fighter using a halberd could pump out some serious damage.

You mean Greatspear, I think. Longspear is +2 prof,, just like Halberd. Greatspear is +3, but costs you a feat.

Halberd is a good choice for a small handful of builds, usually dwarf or goliath defenders or strikers that don't use con as a secondary stat, but who have enough con to qualify for all the axe feats.

What would you do - or what do you do?
My son's Eladrin Warlord uses a greatspear. He is working on being an off-tank in a pinch. Having reach helps because you can smack people and they can't do anything about it. If you get terrain to play with, retrain an at-will with Opening Shove and try to push people off walls / into the water (from boat) / into merchant booths / through doors. Much fun, even though no DPR are involved.
Best use: inspired by my description of a fight on the shoreline, my son tried OS while on a boat. He hit the target, who failed his save vs falling off the edge of the deck. Splash. My son asks the DM, "What kind of armor is he wearing?" because in my story, we got rid of a guy in Plate by dropping him into deep water. Too bad the guy had on Leather and could swim. Meanwhile, the rest of the enemy boarding party was getting in each others' way because the Warlord was standing on the shipside end of the gangplank and OS'ed whoever was standing next to him. The stalemate only ended when the DM remembered that he had some archers on board his ship. (ouch)
Best complements I have yet received: Spoiler:

Making it up as I go along:
{BRJN}
If I was writing the Tome of Lore, I would let Auppenser sleep. But I also would have him dream.
In his dreaming he re-activates the innate powers of (some) mortal minds. Or his dreaming changes the nature of reality - currently very malleable thanks to Spellplague &c. Or whatever really cool flavor text and pseudo-science explanation people react positively to.
{Lord_Karsus}
You know, I like that better than the explanations for the Spellplague.
My plot device: http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/ … #489880509 (The reaction is the next post.)
Prepped ahead of time:
I started the thread "1001 Failed Interrogation Results"
{ADHadh}
These are all good and make sense! I just can't come up with something that's not covered here and is not completely ridiculous.
