This is my favourite thread ever, just wanted to say that.
Honestly, I don't see painting to a decent standard too daunting a task for someone with your industriousness. I'm assuming (and this is a fairly safe assumption) that you will have an industrial paint sprayer.
1. Basecoat all models.
2. apply single colour to all models
3. Spray on ink to models
4. Detail work (joints, eagles, etc) with a brush, one colour at a time to groups of 5 or 10.
5. Take lots of photos so we can continue drooling.
