For anyone who wants to test/post this build, I revised a bit to theoretically work.

Long Sword
Hexdrinker
Boots of Swiftness
Sunfire Aegis
Bloodthirster
Atma's Impaler
Guardian Angel

I think that gives a decent amount of armor/MR to make Garen a decent assassin - that is, run in when the team fight is already half-over and just Judgment to victory.

Skip the hexdrinker and get a mallet instead, you'll get more damage and durability that way.

I actually tested that out earlier, but I think it's a bit too expensive to rush if the enemy team has any amount of substantial AP. Also, Hexdrinker gives 35 AD and Frozen Mallet gives 20 AD so the hexdrinker gives more attack power.

I skip Frozen Mallet entirely unless I (and my team) cannot keep up with people. even then I can grab red buff (preferably the enemy's) and perform the same task.

I like start with boots for the extra Judgment time to keep up with my opponent and combined with Decisive Strike allows you to get to where you need to go pretty quickly.
Just played a game and went the following build playing it by ear.

Boots- - - - was laning with Sion (anyone with a stun is a good laning partner)
Sunfire Aegis - - - - - armor, hp, and to farm faster and since i was 8/0 by about 9 minutes in and was able to get it early for maximum effectiveness
Boots of Swiftness- - Garen needs his speed...
Last Whisper - - - - - whats not to love about this? your Judgment hits much harder, great for early-mid game
Force of Nature - - - magic resistance, synchronizes well with his passive, plus, more speed!

I filled in the last 2 spots with Executioner's Calling because their Dr. Mundo got fed and was building tank and my team refused to counter him properly (chain executioners actives and some focus can take him down easy even as a tank) and was building an Infinity Edge since i didn't have enough dps and had no problem living (since only their Nidalee and Dr. Mundo actually fought me and the rest would run like sissy nannies (I'm serious) (even their Tryndamere and his Undying Rage) since the rest of em didn't want to melt to Judgment.

Went 15/4/7 that game. Lost since I was the only one willing to counter Mundo so he was quite hard to kill, he only had 3 deaths the entire game =/


Anyways, anyone know if the shield from Hexdrinker is effected by magic resistance? If not I really don't see a point in getting it (since its just a flat damage shield), would rather have a Force of Nature against mages... not to mention a well timed Courage while they all trying to burst you down greatly reduces all incoming damage.

You don't count the extra damage from Atma's Impaler combined with the extra hp. Mallet gives 34AD. That is one AD less, but it gives a lot more durability and the awesome slow so I definitely consider it to be superior.

The build I was creating was mostly trying to focus on getting Garen to be tanky, then to slap a ton of damage onto his Judgment so you just run into a teamfight halfway through the all-out nukefest and spin2win. I think starting with boots is definitely a good idea, but until late game that might as well be a tank build. Bloodthirster is probably preferable to Infinity Edge because the extra attack damage makes judgment all that much stronger. Last Whisper is a great idea, but to get armor, MR, and health it might be a bit difficult to cram in.

I didn't even consider that, that's a very valid point. for another revised build...

Boots
Frozen Mallet
Boots of Swiftness
Sunfire Aegis
Last Whisper OR Bloodthirster
Force of Nature
Atma's Impaler
