A Thunderfire Cannon and a Mistake..

I’ll tell you what the mistake is at the end of the post, for now, let me show you the Cannon..

Build to be the “heavy” choice in my Allies force org, SM codex, but still painted SW as My army here is a great hunt, using a few different wolf lords etc.. I figure one of those wolf lords can be an SM codex choice..

Here are some closer pics;

Not an easy miniature to pain this, looks simple at first as there a lot of sculptural detail, but when you get into it it’s hard to balance the “noise” especially to make the face work. If I don another i’ll have to convert it to a barehead.

 

Another challenging model, feels like there should be lots of detail, but its all much of a muchness when you come to work out what colours to use, I tried to create some variety and interest without making it look like a clown car…

 

still, should make the heretics flee for their lives, blast templates FTW..

Oh yeah, the mistake… I was working on the metal’s on Z’s titan, and rolled over into this and the servo harness .. so I used metallics….

Everything else in my SW army so far is NMM.. I didn't even realise till I picked up a GH squad today to paint..

So how catastrophic is this? can I mix and match in a force? Should I carry on metallic?will anyone but me care? do I care enough to repaint?.

Maybe i’ll see how I feel when the Wolves are all painted..

There's 8000 points of them,. It’s going to take a while.
