I am looking down the barrel of many tanks and a storm raven, and I'm thinking this might be a good time to get some red primer.

My blood angels recipe is: Black Primer, Mephiston Red, Blood Red and a wash (paynes grey/glaze medium, thinner and water).

Is the GW Mephiston Red true to the pot color, or is Army Painter Dragon Red a better fit?

TIA

C'mon!

I would look at a red oxide car primer instead as a solid base for the red.
Don't know much about the new GW colours or army painter range though - sorry.

Duplicolor Red primer is what I use for my BA army. I swear by this and produces great results!

So that's effectively a mephiston red base coat?

Not sure, I haven't bought any of the new GW paints but it's a deeper darker red.
