Have been away for a long time and dug out my Salamanders, no idea what to run anymore, I have the following models:

Chaplin with jump pack
5 terminators with Thunder hammer / shield
5 terminators with 3 x combi bolter 1 x heavy flamer, veteran with power axe and shield
30 x marines with melta, flamer and missile launcher, veteran with power fist
5 x devastators with 4x missile launchers
5 x devastators with 4x grav
amp -
Currently on sprue as I bought these as bitz.
5 x assault marines - 1x plasma pistol, veteran with power axe + shield
Dreadnaught with assault cannon + powerfist w/storm bolter
Ironclad Dreadnaught -
Still on sprue, picked this up with the centurions
Stormtalon with launcher / assault cannon
Sternguard x 10 with 1 x multi melta, veteran with power sword and 5x combi-melta
Drop pod x 3
Centurions x3 -
Still on sprue, but will go for shooty ones (Possibly grav amps?)
Any advice? Is drop pod spam still worth it? I used to run the combi-melta squad in a pod and drop them on any threats for mastercrafted goodness. Should I invest in a crap tonne more melta guns / Multi meltas for the
tac squads? Is there anything i should not use, and anything that I should buy asap?
Made this rough list:
Salamanders
Vulkan He’Stan - 190
Chaplain - 105
Jump pack
Tactical Squad 1 - 175
Marines x9 Veteran x1
Melta gun
Missile Launcher
Tactical Squad 2 - 155
Marines x9 Veteran x1
Flamer
Centurion Devastator Squad (3) - 240pts
1 Centurion Sergeant: Grav-cannon and grav-
amp,Hurricane bolter
2 Centurion: Grav-cannon and grav-
amp,Hurricane bolter
Sternguard Squad - 325
Sternguard x 9 Veteran x 1
Combi-Melta x 5
MultiMelta
Power-Sword
Dedicated Drop pod
Dreadnaught - 155
Assault cannon
Drop Pod
Extra Armour
Terminator squad - 190
5 terminators with 3 x combi bolter 1 x heavy flamer, veteran with power axe and Storm Shield
Assault squad - 125

Think that's right at around 1790points, which leaves me some points to spare for 1850 games, not sure what to spend this on, I could buy a cheap captain instead, and work in the missile launcher devastators, or another stormtalon / 3x whirlwind?
