So I've had some immortals soaking for about 72 hours in the stuff, what's my next step? It it worth trying to scrub off the base coat?

After a solid soak like that it should be easy to remove paint with a toothbrush or equivalent... a good scrubbing, and then a good wash with hot water and soap (and then drying!) will leave your models in a nearly-new, ready to go condition.

A-will the de-greaser damage models? B- how important is removing the base coat?

If by basecoat you mean the primer coat, it depends - if its obscuring detail, you'll want to get rid of it. If it's not, then you might be ok keeping it as long as your paints can still stick to it well. You're probably better off going down to the bare plastic and starting from scratch just to be sure you have a nice, even, primer coat to begin painting with.

Then de-greaser it is, cause this black primer does not appear to be going anywhere with simple green
