and also any cool names for a space marine army whitch main color is blood red, then shoulders ultramarine blue and trim gold. and has a dragon on shoulder pad for chapter symbel
(second question optinal)
If you are serious about creating a whole space marine army, it would be best to start with a codex.
That’s because it is usual to set a points limit on an army and the codex will give you the points cost for each unit or squad within your army.
Space marine squads are quite robust and you can vary the weapons within the squad.
A dreadnought while a bit costly points wise, is good support for footsoldiers.

(Try that, if still available)
There are characters that can be included in your army (heroes, librarian, vetrans)
There are also troop transporters; jet-bikes and tanks.
::
So it very much depends on the type of army you want.
You could base the army on mobility or fire power.
There are characters that can be included from some other armies (eg Eldar). Worth looking into for surprise value.
Assault on black reach looks a cost effective (money-wise) way to get an army up and running.
Remember that while 2000 points seems a lot, it is easy to use them up.
(Usually Blood Angels are the red ones, so perhaps Blood Dragons or Dragon Blood)
