wow thats expensive
i'd buy the following;
1x officers blister (2 officers)
1x shock troops box (20 models)
1x heavy weapon squad (6 models)

that's your 25 man minimum + 1 spare guardsman...
keep in mind too that that heavy weapon squad box set will give you at least 9 weapons teams!!! here's how you can make it go further;
a) glue the 3 mortars onto the bi-pod & glue the weapon onto a spare 25mm round base. now you can simply add 2 guardsmen to it and you have a mortar team!
b) simply glue the rocket launcher arms onto a guardsman instead of the bi-pod!
c) use the tri-pod to assemble either of the other 3 heavy weapons...

so there you go, now you not only have the components for your first infantry platoon, but you also the heavy weapons to build 2 support squads who will eventually go into your HQ platoon!

cheers!
