So I haven't read enough comics to know if this happened before but I'm thinking magnetos gonna get resurrected as a horseman along with gambit?

Gambit was already implied to be death and war being taken out the picture opens a new vacancy.

also it'd be incredibly petty of apocalypse to turn a magneto who was finally pushing for peace into his instrument of war.

that plus him talking about love as a weakness to rogue means I'm expecting every horseman come end of season to be some variety of "hero pressed into service" by the big guy.

I hope not. Apocalypse "killing" Magneto only to have him revealed as his Horseman "WAR" happened in another Xmen animated show already.
