So you'd have to drop 4 combi's from it to start and then another 7 to get a third drop pod going from 19 combi to 8 combis pretty much ruins the list.

How about something like this:

Pedro 175

5 Scouts, snipers 75
5 Scouts, shotguns 75

10 Sternguard: 10 combis, Drop pod 335

Ironclad: Drop pod 170
Ironclad: Drop pod 170

Drop in the Ironclads first and then support with Pedro (giving them 5 attacks each on the turn they can actually charge). No cloaks on the scouts but you'd probably start them in reserve and walk onto objectives near your deployment zone or outflank onto other objectives later in the game. You could drop 3 combi weapons to get one squad camo cloaks but probably not worth it.

In your 2nd list you don' need Telion and the camo cloaks (that's just wasting 15 points) as Telion gives stealth to his unit. So I'd drop that unit for a min tac squad with drop pod for the 3rd pod and switch the Skyhammers for Typhoons on the Stormtalons.
