So, the real question is: how easy will it be to magnetize? Any experts want to chime in and start contributing?

On first blush it the Kit looks like it should be pretty easy to magnetize: the connections seem pretty cylindrical male/female which should make it easy to set magnets. The only question is exactly how heavy the arms are, as you might need a decent strength NIB to make sure it doesn't fall off if you jostle it around.
Heck, if you're just interested in the Vambrace-joint, it's possible it will dry-stick much like you can swap out turrets or the weapons on the Doomscythe.
The truth may be different, but these pics look encouraging.

Just pre-ordered two from an e-bay store I trust at $115 each and free shipping... I may get them a little later than if I picked them up locally, but it's hard to beat the savings!
Interesting that they have their own "sub section" along with the othe 40k armies....
Hah! Just to confuse things, the web entry describes it as "8 Inches Tall" but the picture of it standing next to the marine STILL shows it as a little over 6" tall. =P
So, judging by the pictures, it looks like the gun assembly is mostly one set of pieces, which is going to mean either multiple magnets or going to the bits-sellers to get an extra arm/gun assembly. I'm probably going to do the latter.

yeah... although the ammo box on the side of the battle cannon might just look acceptable as an alternate/armored melta canister type thingy, at which point one would only need to swap the barrels if I see that correctly... ah well I'll just wait and see what it looks like in plastic
