Yeah yellow is a bit of a pig to paint, especially over black. Worth checking out this video for some good methods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwnFf-KlykI
If you want simple and straightforward then getting a yellow rattle can for priming is definitely the way to go, especially if you're doing an army of marines.
And in general if you're painting something where you need good coverage, generally many thin coats is better than slapping it on, will help to not obscure detail.
Also +1 to the stuff sumo has said.

Thanks for that, that's really helpful. Yeah I did a base coat of black before adding the yellow, which I soon realised was a mistake and had to slap the yellow on to get good coverage. Lesson learned on that one.
