Germy, for chipping, if you have liquid mask you can always apply it with a sponge (the natural type, not those blister types)
Works a bit like the hairspray/salt method. after spraying the last colour you just rub off the mask patches.
Not as crisp as the hairspray method but less fuss and it works.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

For chipped paint on this amount of models, I'd say what zizi666 said: use blisterfoam to quickly apply rust. Works very well and fast. Combine this with some streaking from an airbrush and you can get a good weathered result in notime.
For red colors, I'd use an airbrush:
1. Prime white
2. Airbrush with red
3. Airbrush a quick shade with dark brown + blue
4. Airbrush the highlight with white
5. Airbrush yellow, orange or light red over the white. These colors cover poorly over red, but if you first apply a white layer it will go fast.

I think you can do 100 models in this way rather fast.
