The Tau are the only army I'm currently collecting that I'm actually ok with an armour finish that doesn't have a wash. The model I'm using is a Shas'ui (equivalent of a Sergeant, for anyone not fluent in Tau), so his shoulder guard is getting a section of the sept colour, as well as the squad markings.
