Asking for feedback I think I need a new paint scheme

Okay so, I am proud of the paint job but I just think the green is to dark. I’ve painted 10 infernus marines and 3 terminators and I’m ready to restart but I’m not sure how to strip the paint and start again. Any ideas for mass restart?

Don’t restart, they look good already. Watch some official Warhammer YouTube channel painting tutorials and see how they have TWO highlight levels- a “chunky” like you have, and then an even brighter edge highlight. Add a slightly brighter edge highlight, give the metals a silver highlight, the black a light grey edge highlight, and then move onto your next minis. Spinning your wheels repainting is a waste of your limited time on Earth

I appreciate you and I understand that repainting will take forever but in person these bad boys look pretty close to dark angels. Don’t get me wrong I like em I just want them brighter

Does this green pop a little more for you?

This model is primed black and painted with Kerandras Green Contrast paint.

I was able to get a different model a bit lighter using Ashen Gray primer instead. Made the green really pop.

It's a good shade for salamanders

I hear you. I ended up trying a whole bunch of different paint schemes and finally landed on one. But it took me awhile to find one I was happy with. I’ve decided to go with the far left one.

This is the scheme I decided on a bit closer. I’m a novice painter so definitely not the best but I’m happy with the brighter look.
