Yes, they were killed as living Necropolis soldiers, wearing a skull as a belt buckle, and that strange headdress. Right, Stevie. Suuuuure.
No, wait, I have a better idea. The magic that animates them does it! It changes the stuff they wore when they died - and which miraculously wasn't plundered by the victor - into proper Necropolis gear! Pretty handy that!

Well, putting some kind of armor on upgraded skeleton is not such a bad idea, since they're considered elite among their kind. Like "Commando Skeletons" if you like 
Anastasya looks neon-green? C'mon, do you guys have paranoia already? Compare her to H6 Necro hero - she is done with no over-decorated style, simple robe with green sewing, a Spider amulet and green eyes (well, she's a Vampire). So yea, it's black and green, but pleasant to the eye.
Regarding Necro line-up - first of all, I don't think color-coding is such a bad idea. Ofc, H6 implementation was... not so good, to put it mildly, with those Vampire-"knights" and "healthy" liches with silly spider legs behind them. But I like the overall art-style, spider theme.
I expect from H7's Necro Zombies, Reapers (even Ubi liked them in H5), mummy-like Liches, normal vampire-knights, Bone Dragons and Namtaru (they're not extinct) as warfare unit.
P.S.: what was wrong with Clash of Heroes aside from anime-style (which was done very good)? It doesn't even contradicts overall Ashan style (after PC-version). Haven's alt champion comes from this game btw.

Well, a more or less naked Skeleton (except for some weapon) is certainly a boring thing to design and look at (armor makes no sense, because a Skeleton is no coherent thing anyway, but has to be "glued" together by magic, obviously, so a hit destroying, say, sime ribs won't do any damage that would destroy the skeleton as a fighting unit).
Although I suppose they would look pretty terrifying.
In any case that's not making the game and it's breaking it neither.

If they're ressurected with that armor (which makes sense, they were warriors in life), you propose that necromancers should strip them of that armor? And in case of the upgrades, they wear enchanted armor according to H6.
P.S.: if I undestood you correctly, you say that a hit to skeleton won't destroy it as a fighting unit 'cos they're "glued" with magic? I don't think so. Yes, they're animated by magic, but that doesn't mean that a good hit to them won't cause that green energy to "dissolve".

Could they have been MORE uninspired than to include a spider in the creature ranks in necropolis... I mean, so many potential units and they choose the most random useless one.

I was expecting much worse. However, the core isn't the problem, I'm more concerned about the elite/champion tiers
But that purple... while not as bad as h6's green, still not very good IMO

Purple-glass undeads Not better than green... But, I'll wait and see the other units. As for spider, that was sooooo uninspired imo.

I was relieved at the first sight because they weren't green... but the more I look at them I see that they are far from perfect, still better than h6 tough.
And I'd better have vampire and lich replaced than get the same deal as in h6, even tough they are iconic units, h6 simply ruined them
