Plastering on a partially tiled Marmox board in bathroom

[Yukster]

I was going to tile the bathroom wall all the way up to the ceiling. But I decided that it would look nicer if I left the top bit un-tiled
The tiles are only 8mm proud of the Marmox boards. The question is: what's the best way to finish the top bit of the wall?

I posted here rather than in tiling because I'd like, if possible, to plaster and paint the remaining un-tiled tip part of the wall. Is that issue best discussed here or in the tiling forum?

ive never plastered marmox boards either, but done a few others, you can bond it most of the boards in this situation, but i googled marmex just to make sure
