Subject: Getting started and had a question on SM

Hey everyone! Im just getting into the hobby after several years off. I never actually played the game before, just built the models. Anyway here is the question:
I see Blood Angel SM on Ebay for dirt cheap (taken from the Dark Vengeance box and sold out on the spue) but can I paint and use them as regualr marines? Or use them as BA with another paint scheme?
Also Ive been looking into other units (landspeeder etc.) can I use them alongside the BA even though they arent in the BA codex?
Sorry if this all seems tedious and stupid, but Im experienced at modeling, not gaming. Im just looking to get in there and have fun!
Thanks all!

I'm pretty sure dark vengeance comes with dark angels, not blood angels. As for OP, you should be able to use them in any space marine army, along as you have the right codex.

"Archon Yulliptidon sat apon a throne made of polished glass, which gleamed with magnificence in the rays of the dying suns, beautifully suspended above the the many razor sharp peaks that where Commorragh. The archon held within his hands a a delicate pyramid of sculpted crystal, from which emitted a faint glow, an echo of the soundless screams of pain belonging to countless tortured souls forever trapped within. The room in which the archon sat in was something like a throne room, but displayed apon the walls where helm of every color, but all the same in size and shape. Some bore eagles on their foreheads, and others still contained the decapitated heads of their previous owners. Two huge, beautifully carved iron double doors, engraved with intricate runes of pain and suffering, opened at the far end of the room, to reveal a tall, elegant dark eldar warrior, clad in armor made from bone and flesh. "lord Yulliptidon, you asked for my presence?" Said the arrival, " to what do I owe the pleasure?". The archon raised his elongated head, skin as pale as a full moon, eyes as vivid as a horrible nightmare. " I did not ask for you, Thrayon, I ordered your presence. Do not think to much for your self, for truly, you are not much past a feral that one would find on the streets. As for why I have ordered you to my palace, it is because their is a task that I wish you to preform. I wish you and you kabal to cleanse the imperial out fort of Sargosain Gastienagan." Thrayon was both aghast and interested at what the archon had just said. "Such a task would stretch my kabal to its limits, only a great reward would be enough to do a deed like this." Yulliptidon was outraged by the the proposal of a "great reward" by Thrayon, but did not let his anger show, hiding it with a cold smile that hid his evil intentions surprisingly well. The archon was was famous for never telling a lie in his life, but was very fond of veiled double speak, and this was no exception. "Do not worry, Thrayon, you shall receive what you deserve." Thrayon, happy with this outcome, left to carry out Yulliptidons task. Little did he know what was coming. Thrayon had done a thousand evil deeds, and what he deserved was a horrible death equal to to all those he had caused. Yulliptidons smiled. He was going to have fun."

You can definitely use them as regular marines. Even if you paint them as the chapter they're actually from, it doesn't matter, as long as they're space marines.
Some people may give you dirty looks if you repeatedly swap out which codex you use, or if you don't keep them WYSIWYG.

Thank you guys for the quick help, ordering my first marines later tonight!
