The humakti know they aren't coming back. For an orlanthi death means some R&R at Valhalla (can't remember the gloranthan name now), and then getting reborn in the world. A humakti has given that up, and after death will stand guard in Humakts warband forever.

So I don't think they are in a hurry to die a meaningless death. They won't fear a good death, but they won't rush into a meaningless skirmish.
