Well, there's paintbrush and airbrushing. I highly recommend using an airbrush, easy to learn and painting is quick and, with some practice, even.
The little painting I have done has been with a brush. I'd like to get an airbrush, but I see myself investing in one and then losing interest after a while. I have too many minis unpainted and too many still on sprues to want to invest more money, but I do really like the game. And I even really like painting and watching painting videos on youtube. I could watch the Awesomepaintjob channel all day.
How geeky is that?
