On large vehicles where you're already $100+ deep on a single model, or on something like a Kill Team where you're going to put in a lot more detail into everything and customization is critical, I think magnets absolutely have a place. On your random base infantry that makes up 90% of your army, it's overkill.

So a small tube of metal/old plates etc. will hold them. -[if you are a "displayer" its a nice look to have a squad armed and ready infront of a metal part(displate/plate i.e.) as a weapons rack of sorts.] Fifth: have a dedicated hobby space - even if its just a sidetable - so you can organize better... and once you hit the 100 model mark you should get a display anyway .> But First an formost is : Have Fun !

Everything else I would just build out however and proxy the different weapons if needed. One tip for GK is to paint the tilting plates in different patterns for each 5 man squad. Then you can say "The strike squad with the red tilting plates have falchions, the white tilting plates are halberds, the half red/half white squad have warding staves" or whatever you choose. Gives a built in way for you and your opponent to differentiate when proxying. Can do the same thing with paladins/terminators.

That's a thing I have thought about. Take a Tactical Marine squad, for instance. You field 5 guys, and one of them can take a special or heavy weapon. You decide to give your gunner a plasma gun. Later on, you decide that you want to give your gunner a missile launcher instead. So you buy another box of tactical marines, and build one with a missile launcher. And another with a heavy bolter, and another with a flamer, and so on. You already have the grunts you need for your unit, so you can build the second box entirely as gunners.

I am getting into Warhammer 40k for the first time and am building a Salamander army so I am lucky in the sense that whenever a weapon slot can fit a flame weapon, I am always taking that flame weapon and don't even need to consider painting and magnetizing the other weapons. The only things I really need to consider magnetizing are my vehicles (have a Repulsor and 2 Razorbacks) since they have many many possible wargear combinations, and my Eradicators, since I am having a very difficult time picking between melta rifles and heavy melta rifles (the latter of which shoots twice but takes an hit penalty if shoot after a move). This video really helped me in understanding the cons in taking magnetizing too far, so much appreciated.

Excellent video. I was in the same boat, I use to magnetize everything (weapon swaps + less chance to break in the case) but then I just always took the exact load-out I had on them, never painted the extra weapons and its easier to lose a weapon/ body part not permanently affixed to your model. My breaking point was trying to magnetize my Kingdom Death models, 1x1mm or even 0.5x0.5mm magnets are back breaking things to magnetize and after doing 12 figures with their 100 options, I 100% gave up on magnets forever. This was combined with trying to magnetize the giant brass scorpion from FW which just ended up wrecking the model since its weight just twists the legs till it falls on its belly. Since then I have only magnetized my FW Primarchs (i move them around a lot and fear them breaking) and bases for carrying cases.

A very valid point, vehicles and walkers are one thing but troops are another. Barring a special character I just can't see the time/expense/storage work that goes into such a move being worth it in the end. You have to ask yourself the question "how much is my time worth". Take the Space Marine Devastator box, you get enough bits for 6 guys and have 12 heavy weapons but some of them are a real cast iron pain in the cackler to modify correctly and your going to have real fun being able to get full versatility. Now for the little bit of extra cash, less than you will spend magnetizing in the long run, you can pick up a tactical box and have 13 devastators with heavy weapons and a MASSIVE amount of stuff to make the other 3 marines into as well as upgrade other marines with. You have no idea how many crappy marines I upgraded from the waste up with leftover bits and that was before bit sellers and 3rd party sellers. Legs are cheap!

And often these people don't even finish the project they are on before getting distracted by the next tournaments meta list floating around the internet. I understand the advantages. But as you said; there is no truly right or wrong answer, each hobbyist must decide for themselves based on their own values.

a good call is also to use superglue on plastic. For example. I play(ed before corona) competitive 40k a lot. I know 90% of the time my scout sergeant gets a juicy storm bolter for good measure. Just some well invested points. Howevery, sometimes, when rules change you have to rethink the equip. Or sometimes you are just like 1 stormbolter over the points limit. Good thing, that Bolters and Stormbolters come with their hands on. So i just conected them with superglue. In 1 year i probably switched the scout sergs right hand ranged weapon twice by just breaking it off, giving it 3 good rubs with a file, and glueing one of my aprox. 5000 bolters on instead. This takes literally no time whatsoever and is way easier than magnetizing a wrist. Same goes for most sergeant/veteran melee weapons. Thunderhammers, power swords, relic blades, chainswords all come with hand on the weapon and the wrist being the connector. So if the new points update drops and you have to rethink your weapon of choice, just break and re-glue. Its hard to notice at all. And for everyone who has his priority in playing and is fine with like a "tabletop standard" paintjob its just fine. Wouldnt do this on display-minis though for obvious reasons. Can absolutely relate to the dread issue :D Back in 7th i wanted a iron hands dreadnought army just for the cracks. Magnetized everything. But since i ended with a 1.4 meter wall of dreadnoughts, i might aswell have never done it :D if you have 10 standard dreads, you can afford to have all the different loadout, since when you bring them ALL its a fun apo game and weapon efficiency is no factor.

Another thing about magnets: If you do it wrong, they are PITA to remove. I bought a set of pre-owned WarMachine models a while back that were magnetized; I got them very cheap, but the magnets were not strong enough (even though they were doubled and tripled up) to hold the parts securely, and to make the arms and weapons sit flush I had two options: Greenstuff the gaps, or remove the magnets. Since I only plan to resell them, I went with option B - remove the magnets. Tiny little 1.5mm magnets. How to get them out? They were superglued in place. I looked up "micro hole saws" on eBay, and the closest thing I could find were diamond-coated tools which were too thick. I had to _make_ my own tool. I used an old scriber handle made of very hard steel and filed teeth into it. Amazingly it actually works! I used it to saw down to the bottom on the magnet and then gently rock it out with a pair of tweezers. Also, be aware that neodymium magnets can be _very_ dangerous to children and pets if swallowed.

Which magnet is best magnet?

I'd only magnitize a few weapons for the bigger vehicles. Usually I'd have different approaches and different units for different occasions, but my Hammerhead needs some swapping from time to time.
