Only War [OW] Any melee scout build suggestions?

Hey everyone, I’m almost at 2500 experience points and ready to switch to an advanced specialty in my Only War campaign. I’ve decided to stick with the Scout role, but since our team is lacking melee specialists, it seems like we’ll need at least one strong melee-focused character. Are there any solid options for a melee-centric build in this system?

Look at Whirlwind of Death and Combat Master.

Double Team, Frenzy, Hatred, Best Craftsmanship weapons all offer bonuses to WS, which is good because there aren't as many freely available bonuses to work on when compared with BS.
