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.
