I was slopping a ton of the old Blood Red on something to get it to cover over black, and thinking "And this piece was done with my classic 'give Duncan an apoplectic attack' technique" ;)

As a quick note, it'd go faster if you use something like a brown first tocujdercoat for the red.

I did actually lay down a coat of Khorne Red first. Honestly, I should just chuck that bottle and get some of whatever the new equivalent is, but I have trouble bringing myself to throw out something that is still at least usable.

Right, that's why I was throwing out a brown. For acrylics, a brown is likely to have much better coverage than any red you're gonna throw down and won't offset the overall hue provided you use a warm one. 

Anyway, the new beast looks like a...thing? Can't say I'm particularly impressed.

The Khorne Red actually covers the black pretty well. But the Blood Red won't even cover the Khorne Red very well. Like I said, it's one of the crappy older paints with a much lower pigment ratio, but I feel like I need to use it up.

And yeah, I'm not actually hugely impressed by the Beast of Nurgle shots we've seen, but as long as it's a reasonably priced plastic kit instead of the FineCast one we've been stuck with for ages, I'll be able to do something worthwhile with it.

True story. I do like the current Beast, but only the metal version. Anything that replaces Finecast is for the best.
