Even a really basic paintjob makes a big difference in terms of how it feels to play IMO, always nicer to play with some level of painted.
I also recently got an airbrush and really should get one of those miniature extractor fan set ups. atm I have a sort of modified cardboard box that I pull out to mitigate any overspray.
FWIW having watched quite a few different airbrush tutorials on basics and cleaning, the short series on the cult of paint youtube channel is the best.

took the plunge and ordered myself an airbrush kit and one of those portable spraying/extraction booths so I can finally tackle the ~1,000 odd minis I probably have across my big mini based board games.
i bought 3 rattle cans of citadel primer a few weeks ago and every time i've been free to get out in the garden to spray some stuff it's ended up being too damp or too cold. I just got fed up of that being the main reason I never get started on painting anything. I'll use them still in the summer i'm sure but happy to be a bit more flexible with when i can paint.
mostly going to be using it to zenithal the minis in black/grey/white and do basic base colours on top which is enough for most things where I'm playing solo then I'll fill in details and apply washes by brush later on but I'm not looking for perfection.
spent today rearranging my work area (still not perfect but useable for now) just waiting on a slightly longer hose for the extraction port so it reaches the window and the cleaner/thinning fluids to arrive so i can put some paint through and start having a play.
