Did you use Magnet baron or did you just drill and glue your own?

Would I need a drill? I don’t have one and don’t really want to buy one just for this, would it work by just sticking the magnets on the end?

I would strongly recommend using a drill. It is worth it! Otherwise, the magnets will look unnaturally stuck on rather than properly integrated.
For the weapon options, you might get away with using very thin magnets, but they tend to break easily, and personally, I don't find them strong enough.

Is it an easy mag job? Just ordered mine for my EC and im torn between magnetizing and kitbashing sonic weapons onto it and just saying the sonic guns count as what I need them to.

Magnetizing was pretty easy and is totally worth it. I used 2x2 for the weapons, 2x3 for the body and scourge and 4x2 for the "arms". Didnt magnetize the nipple guns or chest gun
At the end. Rule of cool! As long as you don't intend to participate at majors, it should be fine.
