I know this is an old post but thought I'd throw my 2 cents in anyway.

In 7th edition you can have as many detechments as you want.

In your case you could have a combined arms detachment of dark angels and another combined arms detachment of codex:space marines just painted with dark angels colors/icons.

Nothing in the rules says you cannot do this, just make sure both detachments have 2 troops choices each and any unit in the dark angels detachment that has a rule that only affects 'codex dark angels units' does not affect units from the second detachment.
