I currently have all the marines I need for an Imperial Fist 3rd company. I also have terminators, scouts, a Stormtalon, three drop pods and a land raider. I'm slowly building and painting these.
I know I need Rhinos, and I plan on at least two dreads, but what other vehicles might I need to count myself having a full company?

If I remember, as far as assigned to the company, it's just Rhinos, razorbacks, drop pods, and Dreadnoughts. Actual tanks and flyers like the Storm Raven and Predator are assigned on an as-need basis from the armoury,
Technically all of your assault marines should be trained to use landspeeders, so if you must have something else, get roughly 1 land speeder per 2 assault marines, although I doubt a chapter actually has that many per company (they probably have like 3-5 and just rotate people's turns).

Hell, I'm not that bothered by the Stormraven. Why? Because, as it stands right now, it's "limited use".When it's shoehorned in to the Codex: Space Marines, then yeah. I'll be irked.
When I'm editing alot, you know I have a gakload of homework to (not) do. |

I don’t think drop pods belong to companies, but I’d count them for completeness. IMHO you should have enough transports to move all your tac squads. Technically you should have enough rhinos for every squad, plus a few spares, but that’s massively overkill.
The bikes and speeders are company level, but really optional. If you can put 100 battle brothers on the table, that’s the key point. Not every variant of how they can get there. For years my second assault squad was represented by bikes/speeders myself, but I eventually got another 10 JP marines for the formal shelf deployment.
2-4 dreads are required though. Plus all the command elements. Who’s included in that shifts a bit, and was recently added to.
