Bigger problem for many people not getting into painting is the initial 200 hundred different colors needed 😄 So yeah, some washes do wonders (I just painted the ghasts with a pair of speedpaints...)
I would add that for people that don't really want to go into the hardships of fully painting stuff/learning painting etc, Priming with a brush will give a lot less of headaches than learning to prime with a spray, and or living in a weather or the time of the year where the spray will do a good job and not a mess.
For less price than a modelling primer rattlecan, one can buy one of those Prime-on-Brush big Vallejo bottle, that will be enough for the hundreds of Death may die miniatures (unlike sprays, that depending on a lot of factors, may cover a lot less minis).
I also don't bother much with varnish, as I'm never happy with the results, and I think plastic minis with a minimal care on storage is enough to preserve the painting, it would be a different thing if they were metal minis.
(While I'm not going to do it, I'm pretty sure they could be stored in plastic bags no problem xD)
