I think the big question is, how do you feel about armor? If your concept is little or no armor, you could even start with a warrior monk. The Self Control skill category is full of skills for pushing yourself in heroic ways: frenzy, adrenal strength, etc. Don't let yourself get stuck thinking of those as meditative discipline, it could be coming out of rage or determination, that's a character choice that's really irrelevant for the game mechanics.
If you want light to medium armor, rogues aren't bad for the outdoors. And of course fighter.
SoHK has the barbarian which is obviously what you are looking for. It also has the outrider which is like a thief with less of the social/urban and more outdoors skills. Less Conan but could be a perfect fit for some other members of the tribe.

At the current pace, it won't be until 2024 or possibly 2025 that someone can sit down and purchase the RULES to play RMU. Since they "finished" the 1st book, RMU Core, it has been 5 or 6 months and there is not even a timeframe for the 2nd book, RMU Spell Law. I dont imagine there will be a speedier process for release of the subsequent and necessary rule books.
Yes, having the rule books out should take precedence over putting out the source and setting material, BUT, sadly, with the glacial pace at which they put out any material, it could reasonably be 2026-2027 before they get anything out for their core setting. It could be hyperbole but it seems like it might be more likely that my dates are closer to the truth than what they will admit.
The same problem does not exist in RM, in Construct companion we have Golem creation on page 45 and Amalgam creation on page 89.You didn't check Construct Companion very carefully.
These Amalgams are sometimes erroneously called Flesh Golems.
"Flesh Golems" are not in fact Golems as they are not composed of a single piece of material. Instead "flesh golems" are Amalgams
