I'm currently trying to build a 3rd company list to use in conjunction with my current army and I don't know what to add to it.

I currently own Kayvaan Shrike, 3 suppressors, 3 inceptors, and 5 vanguard veterans with lightning claws. I also wanna get some tactical marines in drop pods.

What would be good to pair with the bois I already have?

For 3000 points and drop pods probably 2-3 tactical squads 2-3 Intercessors squads with the assault bolters maybe. Than depending on play style maybe some reivers for theme purposes. Or even some assault marines. But it depends on your style of play raven guard are usually fly in kill everything with suprise attacks than roll out so maybe some Phobos style units would be a good addition also.

Going by what playstyle you'd like to run. I'd suggest going straight into fast attack, or popping a small group of anti-infantry flyers alongside your units.

What do you have available to add into the army?

Though if you're looking to subvert expectations. I've seen some people rune Space Sharks along side several detachments, as they are the successor chapter of the Raven Guard.
Nothing like a max squad of lighting-claw terminators, dropping on your back line. To make you reevaluate your day.

I was thinking something like this.
HQ

Kayvaan shrike - 135

Captain -85

Librarian - 90

Troop choice

40 tactical marines with 4 missile launchers - 780

3 Drop pods - 210

Elite choice

15 Vanguards veterans with 12 pairs of lightning claws and relics blades and plasma pistols on the sergeants - 432

Dreadnought - 120

Fast Attack

6 Suppressors - 200

6 Inceptors - 240

3 Land speeder typhoons with multi meltas - 360

Flyers

Stormraven Gunship - 320

I plan on setting Shrike, the veterans, and the drop marines in deepstrike, while the captain boards the Stormraven gunship with the librarian, 10 tactical marines, and dreadnought, rushing up the board with the landspeeders, inceptors, and suppressors.

To be honest, Those storm talon gunships are really good since I can get get 2 for the price of one storm raven. I can just give the captain a jump pack and replace the librarian with a jump pack chaplain.
