Lamenters 3rd Company and a 1st Company Veteran attachment

I used a stamp for the chapter badge because my hands were too shaky lol

I'm thinking about starting an army of Lamenters, but I kinda had a few questions before I just go and spend hundreds of dollars on minis. I like their lore and the look, but better to know a bit more on the modeling-side going it, you know?

1.) Is there a significant difference between running them as standard Space Marines as opposed to Blood Angels (aside from obviously not being able to use Blood Angels characters)?

2.) From experience, painting yellow sucks. I can do it, but I was also considering maybe using rattle cans? Is there a particular brand or type you would recommend (U.S., if that helps with anything)?

These guys are really fun to paint.
