Humakt exists as a battle cult (cf the Morale Spell). I agree that this isn't common among the Orlanth Humakti and even the Sartarite Household of Death may have been a band of Heroes rather than a disciplined regiment.
Shargash too has a tradition of mass combat. They are none too picky about how the enemy gets destroyed so long as it's gory.
Storm Bull and Zorak Zoran cultists do form armed gangs of berserks that can be extremely unpleasant to encounter for the receiving end.
Arkat isn't really a war cult but really heroic in style. Some Arkati do form regiments on the battlefield (perhaps a vestige of Hrestoli knightly orders) but most prefer hidden methods of warfare. I don't think Kwaratch Kwang has any significant worship among the Uz to form a regiment.
