750 IG friendly game to start into 6th; IG vs IG or vs ork

Got a chance on a 6th ed game and as I didn't field the armies for some time ( ie M2 ) would like advice on these lists.
Opposition is either IG or orks. Its a small 750 game without fliers and we may both have to look up the rules. So maybe something easy ?

Considered this:

For a small Game of 750 with the IG to get into 6th ed play, I am thinking of using something different. Mostly IG on foot without fliers as those are barred. Oposition to be blue vs blue, ie IG vs IG or my IG vs orks. I don't know the opposing list right now...
So if I pick a list from beneath, which is favorable to try out 6th?
;) doesn't have to win, to die for him on his golden toilet is acceptable :D
I guess both players aren't firm on 6th so maybe something easy to keep the game going.
Any advice welcome.

Considered:


a) Boots on the ground.

Company HQ
- standard, vox,
- chimera

Platoon HQ
- 2x flamer, 1x gl , comissar
- squad 1: melta, vox
- squad 2: melta , vox
- squad 3: plas
- squad 4: gl , ml, vox
( 3+4 possibly merged )
- HW support: 3x ml

Veterans:
- bastonne
- gl, fl
- squad of 10x, grenadiers

=> 749

Just HQ and 2x troop.



b) the platoon split

Company HQ
- standard, vox,
-chimera

Platoon HQ 1
- 2x fl, comissar
- squad 1: melta , vox, ml
- squad 2: melta , vox, ml

Platoon HQ 2
- plas, vox
- squad 1: gl, ml
- squad 2: gl, ml

Veterans:
- bastonne
- gl, fl
- squad of 10x, grenadiers

~750

As before but more Troops.



c) mix of units

Company HQ
- standard, vox,
-chimera

Platoon HQ 1
- 2x fl, comissar
- squad 1: melta , vox, ml
- squad 2: melta , vox, ml

Platoon HQ 2
- plas, vox
- squad 1: gl, ml
- squad 2: gl, ml

Sentinel / scout, autocannon

Basilisk

~750

Increased support.



I'd like to think its a good idea to start with just HQ+ 2x troop and maybe 1-2 vehicles. Wouldn't plan on too many upgrades right now.
The list is based on a group of identically painted models. Could throw a few other things in but should I ?

Willing to see my poor grunts slaughtered if it isn't to displeasing for my opponent. ( Cannonfodder...style )

If you're feeling mean and have the armour the last small IG game I played was 600pts and I had comm squad, vets with ml, vets with special weapons a Standard Russ and a Russ Exterminator - 600pts of BA died very messily without the troops getting their hands dirty
