Never put a raider together before, but most kits are fairly simple to a modeler with any experience. Magnetization I wouldn't know as the kit is fairly new and I've never seen it. Andrew want to chime in?
You can use a model of your own as a "COUNTS AS" model. A few exceptions apply here.
-Your model must be armed with the same exact equipment as the special character. -You must pay the cost of the special character, even if you don't intend on using some of his abilities/equipment. -You must inform your opponent that the model is a "COUNTS AS" and what character they count as.

so the character would have same weapons and count as the same charcter but it would just have a diffrent name

sure you can do that. thats one of the things gw promotes in the game. if you are mostly playing fun pick up games you wont run into problems as long as you run the model the same all the time. most people dont have a problem with this. just tell them whats going on. if you plan on doing tournaments you need to make the model to be what they call wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) so make sure all the correct weapons are on the model. you dont have to have them holding them! for example i have the eldar bonesinger special model. i use it as my eldrad. i replaced his right hand with the spear from the dire avenger exarch and put a sword point into the base at his feet. and a shuriken pistol on his belt. everything is on the model so i'm good and it lets me have my own flavor on the game.
lots of people like to build thier own models to represent a special character. most folks try to make them with all the appropriate gear on them but if youre testing the unit out doing some proxying isnt bad just tell your opponent what you are doing and play it right.

Don't. Take your time, figure out what you want your models to look like then start with one model and get it to look the way you want, then move on to the next. That way in the end you are going to be a much better painter and have a good looking army. You may have to strip and repaint your first couple models before you like how they look. Don't be in to much of a hurry to get your army painted, painting and modifying your models is part of the hobby, and for some people it's even the part of the game that they enjoy the most.
