I have been collecting IG's for a couple of years, but I havent played many games. I am having a few games this week with the combat patrol rules.

I have no idea what to use at all so any input would be greatly appreciated.

I thought of having infiltrators or something with anti-tank squads with meltaguns and meltabombs but what do I know?

It will be hard to actually use meltaguns and meltabombs, and the few tanks or other worthy targets aren't that hard to kill anyways due to the restrictions.
Listwise, you could either use hardened vets, or give your squads the "light infantry"doctrine so that they can infiltrate. What models do you have / what style are you going for? I just settled upon a Combat Patrol myself

this is it:

Platoon

Command Squad
junior officer w/ pwr wep
4 guardsmen
missile launcher
chimera
multilaser
hull heavy bolter
pintle mounted heavy stubber
extra armour
163

squad 1
sgnt + 9 guardsmen
heavy bolter
70

Squad 2
sgnt + 9 guardsmen
heavy bolter
70

Hardened veterans
veteran sergeant + 6 vets
2 plasma guns, missile launcher
96

Total: 399

What about grenaders with a squad mounted in a basic Chimera with a comand squad likewise in a Chumera? Give the squad a couple of Plasmaguns and the HQ an Autocannon or something like that.

or if you got the time and feel like wasting your opponent's time...

2 squads of 40 conscripts with a commissar attached to both.

For a (Recon Themed) Grenadier list, this is what i use:

1 Grenadier Veteran Sergeant: Bolt Pistol, Power Weapon, Targeter, Frag and Krak Grenades
7 Grenadiers: Hellguns, Targeters, Frag and Krak Grenades
2 Grenadiers: Plasma Guns, Targeters, Frag and Krak Grenades
132 pts

Chimera IFV: Multi Laser, Heavy Bolter
85 pts

7 Stormtroopers: Hellguns, Targeters, Frag and Krak Grenades
1 Stormtrooper: Grenade Launcher, Targeter, Frag and Krak Grenades
88 pts

Sentinel: Multi Laser
45 pts

Sentinel: Autocannon
50 pts

Total: 400 pts

You could drop the Sentinels and take 2 maxed Grenadier squads with Chimeras each (just like the first squad in my list) if you wanted.
