You are confusing Humakt's honour with cultural forms of honour as espoused by Heortling Humakti.
Humakt's Honour is simple, and quite compatible with a chaotic mindset. It requires that Death and its powers will always remain in Humakt's hands, and never again get out of control as it did in the Gods War. It requires that the Humakti will do all they can to ensure that the separation of Life and Death will be maintained, and that those who conspire to ruin that balance will be killed, always including the undead.
There is no reason why Ralzakark's Sword Broo cannot hold to that ideal, notwithstanding their otherwise revolting and disgusting behaviour.
