Tengriism is Mongolian, not Hunnic. Very little is known about their religious practices (aside from Attila thinking it was awesome that people called him "The Scourge of God.").
I hope they don't add the Huns, but I'm biased in this regard.
Tengriism is Mongol-Turkic, but realistically it's 'of the plains' which pretty much encompasses everything north of the various empires (Rome/Persian/Indian/China) at the time (depending on the Migration Period).
It's also why it's 'hard' to pin down many civs from the nomadic tribes, due to so many of them being effectively 'temporary' empires made up of all of the same types of tribes, but with a different name. Realistically, a lot of them started as Celtic or Germanic families (at least in Europe-ish area). Who all, amusingly, came from the same families (both ended up settling the British isles from the mainland).
