The Storm Bull cult is not the military wing of Waha. In fact practicaly all Waha initiates are de-facto warrior braves. Storm Bull is clearly even more extreme. Also, I'm goign directly from the desription of the Storm Bull cult, which describes it's members explicitly as both psychotic and anti-social.

You see, the problem is that in many perople's games the ordinary inhabitant's of Glorantha, their culture and beliefs are actualy central to the game. Therefore it seems to me that these things are crucial.
