A painting conundrum

[Maenoferren]

A while ago I decided to satrt on my samurai apes and off I went sparyed black undercoated and then I left them, last night I set off again merrily painting the little chappies all the while thinking that I should have had more. Well evidently I have. I found them tonight... now the conundrum

do I try and match in the ones I have found or do I paint the new ones a different colour. The rest are all having red armour I have about 40 figures left so I could do a different colour it isnt as if I only had one or two packs to worry about.
 I am just worried with various layers of paint I wont get them to look the same 

WHat do people think
on the up side I found a padded envelope of other stuff I completely forgot I had including armoured cars, trucks jeeps and the like for the pulp games... so every cloud as they say

In a different colour!

Avoid my error of Saturday evening; finished my new Inca slingers for a game on Sunday afternoon, went to spray them with varnish, and found the hard way that I'd picked up my black undercoat spray cannister.
   The damage was contained in time, but they were so demoralised that they lost the game anyway.

Go for blue armour - a second unit. Matching is a bugger as I found with my WWI Russians. Since starting them using mixed colours I have now discovered the joys of Vallejo Middlestone, which sort of approximates to the WWI uniform colour much better than Vallejo's Russian uniform, which is the WWII colour.

... I have now discovered the joys of Vallejo Middlestone

I think a few people have made the same discovery, as sales on that colour have shot up!

Middlestone is also pretty good for WWII German Armour

Strangely enough that was the colur I was thinking of

Thanks for the medieval tip. Have also used Vallejo Iraqui Sand for pikes.
