I don't think greater horrors can cage break on a 3+ though as they are not stunty, you need a standard horror for that.
I've got an hmp flamer, probably not the optimum build but loads of fun when the bugs don't kick in and their movement/strength makes them a decent sweeper too. |

Few things I've noticed when playing horrors:
-Sidestep is nice for setting jump up blocks for next turn
-Bombs can cause massive damage against stunties
-Bombing no hands/boneheaded/prone players is best because you get autohit on them since they can't catch
-Target bombs several squares away from friendlies and only reroll fumbled bombs
-Place a few tacklezones with sacrificial horrors and bomb a high priority target like a ballcarrying squig hopper
-but most of all have fun, because the team is random as all heck  |

My bad - forgot about them not having stunty...
With horns they make a good Str 3 blitz though (even if it's not for cages).
I gave one of my regular horrors disturbing presence too, he's usually in proximity of where I will attempt to throw my bomb so make it more difficult to catch/intercept. And it also messes with the opponents attempt to throw it back since they usually have stunty+disturbing affecting them.
And as Stonetroll said - bomb those no hands players like it's no tomorrow (squigs are favorite targets but all ball&chain players are really good too - since they are 100% of the pitch for the drive (at least)) |

no one said anything about diving tackle on horrors?
-they start with jump up, so they can recover after a dive.
-since they have very little movement, they can't hope to catch a running speed freak. but they can make his life a hell, and you should force your opponent to roll as many dodges as possible.
side step, prehensile tail and diving tackle is way to go for no less than 3 horrors, in my opinion. sure feet as well, assuming a stunty could live long enough 
firewyrms and flamers are, first of all, the people doing the dirty job on the field. first they should bash, and lately, drop the bombs when it's not dangerous for them. |
