Having just advised a fellow Deathwatch player to magnetize his DW killteam, I am now wondering if I should magnetize my recently acquired Theta-7 Acquisitus KT (and box of Rangers/Vanguard).

From my first reading, the AdMech don't seem to have as many optional loadouts as the DW do, so magnets do not seem necessary. However, the advice of experienced AdMech players is welcomed.

You don't get enough options in a box of Sicarians or Skitarii to make magnetization worthwhile. Ideally you want to use multiple copies of the same Skitarii; i.e. as many Plasma Calivers as possible, so you don't even get enough special weapons in one kit to make an optimal list anyway.

I agree with Luciferian. I have 20 Skitarii Ranger/Vanguard and I simply ran out things to build out the kit except for the Alpha. I would have preferred to switch the load outs of my Range Alpha with my Vangaurd Alpha, but not nearly enough to bother magnetizing. If it bothered me enough, I could have made one less Vanguard with Radium Carbine into a 3rd Alpha of some sort.

Thanks for the replies. Now I see what you mean. One Plasma Caliver per box?! Well, I guess the kit was made for 40k, not KT where plasma-spam is a thing. Except now I need to find at least 3 more Plasma Calivers. *grumble*
