Hey guys. Basically, I will be picking up a Land Raider soon and I love to use Wolf Grey Primer (as I have a Space Wolves army) and then use a GW wash like Nuln Oil for example to wash in the recesses. So the question is, does GW Washes work on models primed with Army Painter primers? If so, how well does it work? Thanks very much!

It sure does. Just make sure to control the wash a little. They tend to be a little bit thick (at least for my taste) so having some distilled water around would probably help a lot!

Remember, two thin coats are better than one thick one!

Ah, lovely! Just another noobie question, does it have to be distilled water? Because getting distilled water maybe a bit trickier here in the UK, I could be wrong though.

It doesn't HAVE to be distilled. It just helps. The minerals in normal water can occasionally cause some issues. I've used both and normal water should be fine with what you are looking to do!
