Double Cannon or 1 2K Which List

I’m trying to finialiaze my 2K list. I know the list are not competitive but damnit I want big block of un moveable dwarf infantry. Back in the day when you take two cannons you basically triple your threat for the price of 2. However, with dwarf cannons what they are now is it still worth it to take 2 cannons? I have two 2K lists. Which one would you run? Also an improvements are very welcome.

One Cannon 2k

Painting Longbeard

Seeing how people paint the Long Beards. I normally sub-assemble my minis. I found with the great weapon and the shoulder pads, I find it a pain b/c the head can’t be placed back. Any suggests on how to get these guys painted. How bad is it to glue the shoulder pads after they are painted. Thanks
