You may paint them any way you desire.

You should be fine painting them however you want, whether ultramarines, blood angels, some other official chapter, or your own colour scheme.

 

If they are a special named character (so, an Epic Hero with a given chapter keyword, like Calgar of the ultramarines) you couldn't field them using the Blood Angels chapter rules, but that doesn't prevent you from painting them as a blood angel (though, some players might look at you funny).  That said, the captain in the box isn't such a character and I would expect is viewed by most players as a "generic" captain in terminator armour, even if the model did have a name at some point.

 

Hope that helps, and welcome to B+C.  You might want to go to the Introduce Yourself forum and let folks say hi to you.

I'd even point out he only has a "name" during Combat Patrol - i.e. the datasheet with his name is specifically for Combat Patrol and not the wider game at large.  Even with that said, the Combat Patrol datasheet does not have a (sub) Faction keyword like a Chapter name and he can be from any chapter in the wider game or the Combat Patrol.
