I would Recommend sprinkling those ACs into the PCS and Infantry squads because they will need some severe bubble wrap to survive. plus if you dont use the HWTs you may be able to fit in a commissar and maybe some special weapons (Grenade Launchers?).
Against the Grain
I got into IG because I love the tanks. I'm sort of a treadhead and everyone in my meta here knows that. So I decided for my next tournament I would do something unexpected and pretty much unheard of in my meta. A full infantry list. I was trying to figure out how to use the Militarum Tempestus codex which up until now I've thought of as worthless.
Scion Command Squad (Bolt Pistol, 4x Melta)

5x Scions (Bolt Pistol, 2x Melta)

Platoon Command (Vox)

Okay. So I know there are some holes in the list. So lets talk tactics first. The 50 man infantry blob is only there to go to ground behind the ADL for a 2+ cover ensuring that I'm not shot off the board turn one and securing an objective. They will be bubble wrapping the CCS for the "get back in the fight" order. All of the Scions will arrive by Deep Strike. Risky move I know. Since they have move through cover they will automatically pass dangerous terrain tests. Landing on impassible terrain or enemy models will suck. But with 8 units at 1500 points I feel that there will be success in numbers as long as those that survive the deepstrike actually kill something when they land.
