Ok mate these look ok, I think the paint has been a little thick in places but overall not bad. Yellow is very difficult to pull off I usually go for a basecoat of Snakebite then a couple of coats of Leprous Brown (now oop) and then mix golden yellow into the Leprous but it takes forever. When you highlight these guys add white in very small amounts each time to make the transitions smoother. Nice start though.

it looks good but a little thick on the mini if you know what i mean if this is the foundation paint then just add like half a drop of water 2 about 3 parts paint as it makes it look less thick dont overthin the foundation paints as they just become horrible to use

Yellow has bugged me for ages, as I am trying to do a Lamenters army. I was really struggling to get a yellow that I liked. The Iydedan Darksun Foundation paint has really saved my ass. I pictured Lamenters as a more mustard yellow type of colour. By mixing two or three drops of water to the Darksun I can get a nice coverage even over black undercoat.
I follow that up with a wash of flesh ink diluted with two drops of glaze medium and seven drops of water. I then highlight up from there with Darksun again and a final highlight of 50% Darksun with 50% Bleached bone.
Your yellows look like a good start though, I have to agree with the guys about the blobby bits, but that can be easily fixed with more water and more patience.
