That is very similar to the Onslaught view of the faith, though IMO its not for all Humakti, certainly not clan or tribal ones.

Yes there are! Also in the Imperial army, though the caveat to that is that they are moslty Carmanian Humakti. SGU will have the Carmanian form of the death god in it and he is somewhat different to the Heortling form. He is a Killer god who does the holy work of killing for Idovanus. He is the "good" Darkness that is used to destroy the Lie in all its forms with cold violence and death.

In the Gwandor campaign, the Humakti temple at Death Hollow was taken over by a Carmanian Humakti (called Artamesh of Spol) who killed their high priest and placed his own men in charge.
