Im really glad this helps people.  One rule Ive tried to stick to over the years is that I always to to have painted more than I’ve gained that year.  As a metric it helps, and having all the numbers clearly laid out in front of me really helps motivate/guilt me.  I’ve reached a stage where I only have 57 unpainted models left when I have been drowning for years.  It helps that I’ve not had anyone to play since Covid started so theres no reason to buy other than to paint for funsies.

If the zulus have a basic colour scheme and you’re not looking for studio level, then an airbrush can make fast work of a large number of similar models.  I somehow managed to paint 130 models for Reichbusters in 2-3 weeks this year because I broke them down in to 3-4 identical schemes, airbrushed all I could and stuck to simple schemes and techniques while bulk painting.  Hopefully you can do something similar with the zulus.  It helps if you have a load of trays to put minis on and space to scatter them around the house without anyone getting upset by minis being everywhere 🙂
