Uhm....either you're missing a command platoon for each of your infantry platoons, or you're missing an infantry squad in each. Minimum of three as I remember.

(2 Infantry Squads, 1 Command Squad)

you should swap the grenade lauchers for plasa guns and if your are to tool up the senior officer for CC give him a power fist, S3 won't do much.

melta funs aren't that good in platoons, but they work in vets and ST units.

special weapons and heavy weapons don't belong in the same squads! never never never!

ok, rant out, first thing is to drop some heavy weapons, because you won't find many tanks in 500 points that requires a lascannon. high ap weapons are your friends for special, you should have most special weapons as plasma guns. take flamers instead of missile launchers in your command squad if you want it fighting HtH. not huge amount of changes to your list, just different weapons picks.

I would suggest switching in some heavy bolters for hoard armies/badly armoured armies. Such as Orks, DE, CE, Vanilla Eldar, Nids, other Ig etc.

Heavy bolters are horrible

so therefore I suggest you get some.
