Since I've played GW games, I have a pile of Citadel paints already.

Will these work basically fine for PP models, or is it worth it to buy a whole other set of paints?

Will using GW products on a PP product cause the universe to implode, like combining matter with anti-matter?

just make sure you wash the models first, there are no injection molded PP models, it's all resin, so standard forgeworld policies when it comes to washing, sanding, ect. apply

No they're not. The plastics are injection molded PVC. While washing them is still a good idea (even plastic can have mold release sticking to it), there's no need for a ventilator to work with Privateer plastics.

Mind you, there are resin models in the Privateer line: The colossals, battle engines, and a few hybrid sculpts like the Drakhun and Bronzeback Titan. Those still need appropriate safety measures if you're going to be sanding or drilling into them.

Because a warpwolf with an axe is typically Ghetorix.

First Halberd do actually count as axes.
But it is just something i cant wrap my head around, it isnt like 40k where units can change gear, All units have gear that is static and unchangeable. Just tell you opponents beforehand "This stalker has and axe, not a sword cause it looks cooler, it doesnt change what it does"
Im not insulting WM/H i just dont get why it is so strict.

Again, because a Warpwolf Stalker with an axe instead of a sword is commonly known as Ghetorix, and has completely different stats than a Warpwolf Stalker. Changing out weapons to a different type will often lead to the model looking like a completely different model, and causing confusion due to that. In casual games, this isn't a problem, in the same vein that using a Whirlwind as a Land Raider Crusader isn't a problem in casual games of 40K. In tournaments, you're probably going to want to bring the actual model.

I am not going to get into a point to point analysis with people, cause Internet arguing is... well, internet arguing, but I will point out that my point was that 40k is all about the models and the feel rather than the rules. As in, it does not encourage you to paint your Cygnar flaming flamingo pink, with rainbow mohawks, cause that is not really fluffy.

This is actually a fairly poor example. Also this. And this.
