There's plenty of combat-oriented cults. I'd say that Alanthor and Natha 
are probably the most 'war-mage' like, although there are others, too.

You're not going to please everyone. I've heard complaints that it has 
too many keywords in it, and that it's unclear which are important, and 
which not. I don't find this myself, by the way (I love having lots of 
keywords, which is why /Heroes of Malkion/ will be full of them) but the 
point is that no book will appeal to everyone equally. What I suspect 
Mikko is after is something like pp21-28 of /Barbarian Adventures/ where 
you have, for example, stats for a typical Orlanthi clan patrol. It's 
true enough that ILH-2 doesn't have this sort of information, and I can 
tell you that HoM doesn't either. OTOH, it is something I'm planning on 
putting in Lords of the West 2: Kingdom of the Flamesword, if I'm lucky 
enough for Moon Design to accept my current proposal. But I'm sure that 
book (if it happens) would be less to other people's taste, as a result. 
Horses for courses.
