Made this build mostly just so I can have a guideline for my next Fallout 4 playthough. Not intended for the most 'meta' gameplay. Ad victoriam!

“Mercy?” Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the hydraulics of my Power Armour. Beginning life as a Righteous Brotherhood Knight you will cleanse the land of filth with a Flamer in one hand and a Shishkebab in the other. But as you venture to the shores of Far Harbour you will find your true calling in Atom’s Holy Glow. Take up his Judgement and - with a Harpoon Gun in your pocket - bring justice to those Herteics!
