Word Bearers Test - looking for C&C

First time poster and relatively new to mini painting. Basically painted half of the Blackstone Fortress box before deciding to build a WB warband.

I tested two slight variations with the two CSM models from the BSF box and started with a box of legionnaires. I‘m using a sponge technique applying Gal Vorbak and Word Bearers red and I’m quite happy with the result at a close range. However, from a distance the scheme feels a bit monotonous and hence I‘m looking for some thoughts how to add some more „pop“… any other comments are most welcome as well…

Left model: finishing layer of Mephisto Red and some highlights with adding some beige in the mix.

Middle: finishing layer of magenta mixed with Gal Vorbak, highlights with magenta.

Right: Same as middle but before after washes and highlights; not sure if i should continue to edge highlight; also thinking about adding teal details for some pop…

Cheers!!!

[edit: right model is after oil washes]
