Motto: "If I win again I'm still the champion. If you win HAH! that's just impossible.

Weapon: tea cup."
I don't think it's necessary to use primer if you seal it with a varnish at the end. You must use a base coat and GW paints work just fine. I've just posted some rather lengthy advice here on this subject in a thread on a very similar topic to this, so check there for my full answer!
