They will look better if you prime black and drybrush light grey.

I have never primed or painted a skellie. Colors for priming and painting skeletons depends on the scale.

Always prime white no matter the scale 6mm to 28mm.

I'm the Heretic! I took yellow plastic skeletons, 54mm tall, and I painted only the bits that were not bone. Then I applied The Dip to them, based them, and done! When possible, I take full advantage of the plastic's color, only painting the bits that should be a different color. You would not believe how fast they paint up!…

At arm's length, they look very good. I view them at arm's length, 98% of the time, so I only paint for the 98%. It speeds up my painting to Warp 9.8… "Engage!: Cheers!
