I seem to be making quicker progress on the Tau. I am currently picking-out panels and the bodysuits with Vallejo English Uniform. 
My original plan for the battlesuits (big dudes up front) was to use English Uniform on the visible frame. I felt that the contrast was too sharp. Painting the frame this color would have been overwhelming. Instead, I turned to picking out a fixed pattern of individual panels. There is still variance, but such is present on the model itself. Below, I have a detail shot of four of the five types of model I have in the army, and how the splits work;
Most of the English Uniform was and will only painted with one layer. I am losing motivation to work on this project. This army has overwhelmed my workbench, though.
I played with Silly putty as a mask on the Magister. I think it turned out well;
Damn sight quicker and easier, as well. I did end up with ridges on the dark earth, though. I'll have to experiment some more. Still, I couldn't manage these hard lines freehand. Masking with tape or film is a pain. We'll see in the future.
