I used to try big batches,. particularly early on when I was starting to build collections, but I found the fatigue would kick in and quality would drop as I took a more "get it done" mentality. I find now that having lots of different projects on the go (10+ at present) gives me the variety and by just painting small numbers each time (usually a base or a unit, 10-20 figures, 30 max) I can actually get units finished in the small amounts of time I have to paint. It's been over a month since I last lifted a paintbrush though for various reasons and itching to get some done. Have a handful of knights just awaiting their finishing touches and a few other units primed in the wings for other projects, maybe some Celts next, or hoplites, or Tommies, or Roundheads, or...
