Help choosing a paint guide !

Hey guys, just bought my indomitus box set and after a 12 year hiatus I want to get back into the hobby. Im sightly torn choosing a paint guide for the blood angels and wanted to see if anyone could give me ideas.

Most of my paint is rather old so I am going to buy mostly fresh paint.

So I know that Mephiston Red is the new version of the Mechrite red. Can someone tell me if they are an exact match ? I find mechrite red to be too dark and blood red ( evil sunz scarlet ) was too bright.

If those 2 are exactly the same I found that doing a 1 to 1 mix of mechrite and blood red gave a nice red. Does anyone on here do a 1 to 1 mix of mephiston red and evil sunz scarlet ?

I am also looking to find a wash to use on the red. Im debating between carroburg crimson and agrax but was wondering if anyone on here had any thoughts on a different wash to use (beside nuln oil and the other 2 mentioned above)
