First Look: My first thought on these guys was that they looked like Cobra Troopers or Vipers (or even more accurately, the later Neo-Vipers). That was the inspiration for my color scheme, which also pairs them well with the G.I(MEF) Joe figures I previously painted!
I like the aesthetics of these figures, and I think they serve as solid figures for a sci-fi, cyberpunk, or near-future setting. The figures are solid (for Bones), and have fairly good detail.
Painting: The paint scheme is fairly straightforward, with a few different shades of blue and some dark gray/black accessories. I tried to provide some highlights on the black accessories, without going too far and making them read as dark gray. The bases are a gunmetal color, as it's a generic metal plating and I thought the effect worked well enough with the previous IMEF figures.
Conclusion: I really like how the figures turned out, and I think the paint scheme fits very well with them. There really isn't much in the way of accessories (a pack, a gun, and the armor), so there aren't too many minute bits to worry about. I suppose I could have attempted to paint a Cobra symbol on their chest (to complete the Cobra Trooper look), but there's really only a couple of figures that it would even have been noticeable on. Besides, I have way more figures that need attention!
