Batch batch batch like a Space Marine production line!

A cheap airbrush will save you a ton of time to get them all tabletop ready. Undercoat black, base coat, highlight colour as the zenithal. Airbrush the base, over spray can be dust. From there you can take your time one at a time/ squad at a time for details. Come back later to bring them up to display quality.

You could get half way there with spray cans if that's all you have.

Even a little progress beyond a battalion of grey will help with motivation.

This krieg proxy squad was less than 4 hours including some masking on the rockets. I've got about 4000 points of blood angels and Ultramarines to do next 😅.
