Company Command Squad - 110 points
Lascannon, 2 Grenade Launchers
Master of Ordinance

I like a Medic and 3 Grenade Launchers.
Renegade Paladin (the other guy you want to listen to when it comes to IG) likes Medic and Plasmaguns.
Always get a Medic. Carapace Armour is fine too, but costly for 500 points.

Platoon Command Squad - 105 Points
4 Flamers
+ Chimera
Put the Chimera with your Company Command Squad. Drop the Flamers. You don't want to be anywhere near that close to the enemy with your Command Squads. Grenade Launchers are still awesome and do roughly the same job.

Infantry Squad - 65 Points

Infantry Squad - 65 Points
Autocannon, Grenade Launcher
In 500 points, you're not going to face a lot of tanks. This is fine. Later on, you'll want to either swap the Autocannon for a Heavy Bolter, or swap the Grenade Launcher for a Plasmagun.
Heavy Bolter + Grenade Launcher
Autocannon + Plasmagun
Lascannon + Plasmagun
These are the combos that work. But, yeah, At 500 points you want stuff that can 'do everything' even if it can't do
anything very well.

Veteran Squad - 155 Points
x3 Meltaguns
+ Chimera
A staple of IG armies everywhere. I'm only going to say this is fine because it's 500 points and you don't have points to throw around. But, later when you play bigger games, you want as many Infantry Squads as you have Orders. Your current army as-is, has three Orders, so you want three Infantry Squads.
Veterans don't typically get Orders as you don't want your Command Squads near the enemy, and Veterans - especially Meltavets (as an aside, do you need that explained? Or do you understand what I'm talking about?) - are usually close to the enemy. And Command radius is only 12". Usually.
Unless, what you want to do, is drive both your Chimeras forwards, make the Veterans jump out (which they shouldn't, because Chimeras have more than enough Fire Points) and then give an Order in your Shooting phase? If it's not obvious enough, that's a bad idea.
