Hey gurus,
I didn't know if this might should go in tactics rather than here.... But:

Thinking of getting my stepson a wraithknight. So far, unlike my Orks, I've been un satisfied with how poorly my magnetizing skills have crossed over into his army. Do most folks magnetize their WKs? If not, what's the best/most common load out.

Thanks!

I've used some pretty heavy duty rare earth magnets but had poor results trying to magnetize the arms unfortunately. I had to glue them in the end

I was thinking that too. I use burly RE magnets as well, but they're easier to camouflage on my Orks. So I can use bigger ones. Do you have a loadout suggestion?

The kit isn't bad to magnetize. It comes with four arms and two cannons with three barrels. I magnetized the interior of the arm to the sockets so I can swap out cannon arms with arms holding the sword or shield. For the cannons you can easily magnetize each barrel so you can swap between wraithcannon and sun cannon.

The harder part is the smaller secondary weapons, which I haven't even bothered with much yet because I don't plan on using them much. But it's easy enough to magnetize them onto the gun mounts above the jump pack intakes.

This lets you easily swap between any of the load outs you want, easily. I suggest also magnetizing the Torso so you could disassemble the chest from the legs for easier storage.

I just ended up gluing mine as well. I have 2 though, one for the Sun cannon/shield/scatter laser and one with the 2 wraith cannons.
I have largely given up on magnetizing anything except the very large models like titans, as it ends up being more trouble than it is worth.
