On a general note, resin needs to be washed whit soap before primed as the model is full of grease residue from the mould. If you dont soap wash it, the primer wont stick.

However if we are talking incubi from GW here then you need delicate hands and a good primer. Do not wash it as you will moust likely break the model just from handling it. Pour some cold water whit soap in your sink and just give the model a 5 min bath.
GW is not using normal resin!

Basicly GW resin is a massive fail from the first day it was released.
It is incredibly fragile and usualy has sadly too mutch airbubbles from the mould prossess.
You must use superglue and if there are any flash bits use a very thin tipped blade to cut them off while holding the model very, very gently.

Moust likely some parts will be bendt so do NOT bend them like you would whit plastic.
Instead dip the model in some warm water, THEN you can bend it. how long and how warm water is trial and error.



I would advice you to go to ebay and get the old metal models instead tbh.
