As strategy evolves in AV a lot of things change. I find that an effective Horde strategy in Stormstrike has two components.

First, the Horde offense takes and holds Stonehearth GY until it caps. If the Alliance doesn't come fast for the GY, then the offense can go ahead and tag the two bunkers there and reinforce them from the people guarding SH GY as needed. Only after the GY caps should the offense hit Captain Balinda and start north (ninjas of targets in Stormpike excepted).

Second, the defense all goes to Captain Galvengar and waits inside his room. If the Alliance comes to get the Captain, it's pretty easy to kill most of them with Galvengar's help. Lately in our battlegroup they have been bypassing him. Regardless the defense then rides to Snowfall and takes that, and only then do we ride back behind the Alliance that have moved towards Frostwolf. Usually they leave at most 3 or 4 people at each tower and GY on the way, so more a group of 10 or so can easily wipe them out.

After this pretty much everyone goes to offense and mops up the remnants.

I won in about 25 minutes by a score of 727 bonus honor to 0 last Wednesday with this strategy.
