I dug out 4 or 5 z levels in a long corridor that matched up perfectly with stairs alternating ends so HFS had to walk up it for a while, put a support attached to a lever inbetween the top and 2nd highest floor. Then you dig an extra ring around the top one and channel it out so that nothing is supporting it except the support.

As soon as the first one steps on the third floor, flip the lever and the cave in should most or all of them, if you made it long enough. If anything survives, it's generally pretty beat up from getting flung into a wall by cave in dust and you are just finishing it off.

Also, in another fort I had an arena set up to fight HFS in, and if my army was losing I could cave in the ceiling on them, which dropped the floor of the room into magma, but it ripped a hole in space and crashed DF so I never got to see how well that one worked out.
