I've created a step by step tutorial for how I quickly painted up a unit of skeleton warriors. You can see it on my blog here:

Check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions on how I could improve the method.

Good tutorial. You cover the steps well. I prefer my skeletons to be really dirty and grimy.

I am not really a fan of white skeletons. Looks to much like plastic. Aged bone would be discolored. I prefer to start by drybrushing Graveyard Earth, drybrush Kommando Khaki to highlight and maybe tip teeth and points with Bleached bone. Wash with thinned Graveyard Earth to smooth it out. Let dry, then wash with some thinned brown black (Reaper's Walnut Brown is excellent) to finalize the shading.

Using a a slightly wetter drybrush will result in smoother transitions.

It is pretty quick and looks more aged.
