I enjoy hellhounds myself, they have plenty of range, can really get some work done, and gloriously dying for the emperor has saved me a few games when they kill off a character or 2. Plus they are relatively cheap for vehicles and help fill out a battalion.
Plus they are an ample distraction from your real threats, artillery and Russes.
It really is a shame that Hydras aren't better then they are, I would have hoped for the old old rule that lets them ignore the -1 to shoot from flying, in addition to their standard +1 to shoot fly keyword.
