I need to personally paint up some HG and test them out however for my list im currently taking HC on the HT and dom-pod and zoan-pod.
I was wondering what everyones input is on the capabilties of HG, which imo their seems to be less vehicle spam list going around, vs the Ygmarl, who i personally like because of the high amounts of infantry and the Ygmarl ability to sweeping advance almost anything.

Proxy the HG first imo - have you bought them yet?
If not, proxy some in a few games VS Ygmarls.

What sort of mech might you face regularly?
AV13/14, multiple lights/mediums, gunlines, pods, dreads VS tanks?

More info please!

Well none of the people i play use mechs at all. Also im running 3 tervigons in my 2k list to smash vehicles to death, also with 3 pyschic powers each, im asking about general advice for an all comers list.
I like the HG and their ability to shoot however i feel like for my list, which uses HC, as turn 2 in which the any combination of these 3 5 Ygmarl, 3 zoan in a pod, and doom in a pod, coudl cause a serious threat to most lists and provide a turn free turn of movement up the board for my backbone of 3 tervgisons because if those aforementioned units are allowed to run free they can eat things, Zoan ability to psychic shriek, Ygmarl ability to win lots of CC and sweeping advance, and just the doom being a beast.
The only disadvantage i see is that last night i seriously run the risk of rolling 1's and not getting any refinrocements. turn 2 i rolled 2 ones, and turn 3 i rolled another 1. But i think i like the thought of being aggresive and forcing a response more then i like hoping the HG wont be a priority for mech lists.
