The idea is running almost everything in from board edges and having a Stormtalon escort, Shrike Infiltrates with the Terminators, and the Snipers and missiles kick back and fire from range.

That looks like a whole lotta fun.

I wouldn't try this in a Tournament, but I want to try this list out.

I'm curious to know why you didn't used the new missile launcher on the Skytalon? (can't remember the damned name!) 3 shots at str7 would probably help a lot with opening ennemy transport don't you think?

Probably because he has no way of opening up AV 14 without the Lascannons.

With that said, from my experience with Scout armies LSS + a 5 Man Squad with a Combi Melta is awesome, Turbo Boost with the scout move, then move 12" turn 1, disembark 2", shoot the melta, if you have the points a MM on the LSS is great too.

You might not want to do that if you want to stick with the Flyers though as they are FA slots.

A single lascanon is nowhere near enough to deal with AV14 either. Meltas and meltabombs, like you suggested, would do this better. Getting rid of camo cloaks on 1-2 squads would give enough points for combi and/or meltabombs for every sergeant.

As I hate change could you not use the talons and bring on scout bikers, only as I am scared of what is new.
The Talons do not bring enough antitank, you should have more.

Also I would think about more SS/TH termies and more termies anyway. You need these to work and they may not get the first turn charge that you need.
