I'm a new Guard player and I wanted to build just a small 500 pt army (nothing more than that). Could some one post a sample list perhaps so I could get ideas? I also wanted to base after a US Army Light Infantry Platoon (ie US Rangers). Thanks.

If you wanna have fun instead of playing like a nerd put demolishers in
Command squad - 40 Medic - 11 Grenadiers - Storm Troopers (2 plasma) - 70 Grenadiers - Storm troopers (2 plasma) - 70 demolisher - HM hvy bolter - 155 demolisher - HM hvy bolter - 155
Total: 501
Fun army, i play 1000point games with 3 demolishers and a rarely lose, even against tau. Do you wanna spend your life painting and worrying if the paint will flake of your models or have some occassional fun as well as leading a proper life?
I'm posting here not because I'm hipocritical, but because I'm 2 days from VCE and bored

Demolishers do not equal light infantry and I would question their effectiveness in a 500 pt list. Too easy to be killed for such a small game.
Personally, I would go with something more along these lines.
Unlimited Pts - Imperial Guard Roster - 500 pt Lt Inf test
HQ: Command Platoon (5#, 55 Pts) 0 Command Platoon 0 Command Squad Light Infantry 1 Junior Officer Iron Discipline; Light Infantry; Close Combat Weapon; Laspistol 4 Guardsmen Light Infantry; Lasgun (x4)
Troops: Infantry Platoon (25#, 223 Pts) 0 Infantry Platoon 0 Command Squad ts Light Infantry 1 Junior Officer Light Infantry; Close Combat Weapon; Laspistol 4 Guardsmen Light Infantry; Lasgun (x3); Missile Launcher 9 Infantry Squad Light Infantry; Lasgun (x8); Heavy Bolter 1 Sergeant Light Infantry; Laspistol & CCW 9 Infantry Squad Light Infantry; Lasgun (x8); Grenade Launcher 1 Sergeant Light Infantry; Laspistol & CCW
Troops: Infantry Platoon (25#, 223 Pts) 0 Infantry Platoon 0 Command Squad Light Infantry 1 Junior Officer Light Infantry; Close Combat Weapon; Laspistol 4 Guardsmen Light Infantry; Lasgun (x3); Missile Launcher 9 Infantry Squad Light Infantry; Lasgun (x8); Heavy Bolter 1 Sergeant Light Infantry; Laspistol & CCW 9 Infantry Squad Light Infantry; Lasgun (x8); Grenade Launcher 1 Sergeant Light Infantry; Laspistol & CCW
Total Roster Cost: 501
55 models
Pros: Whole list can infiltrate. Most Marine lists dont put that many models in 1500pts let alone 500.
Cons: Very little AT capability. (2x Missile Launchers) May want to fiddle around and take meltas instead. May actually be better as you should get more and your infiltrating so good possiblitiy of using them.
Not a perfect list by any means, but cheap to buy and easy to assemble. At 500 pts though, no list will be perfect.
