I've always loved unique miniatures. You can see a million Space Marines, but there's only one converted Space Marine that Marc, AKA CerxiS, has created. That's why I invited him into the studio. I wanted to sit down, face-to-face, and ask him directly about his hobby journey, his incredible conversions, and the origins of his famous Omegon's Wrath.
In this interview, I explore why kitbashing excites me so much and why I believe it makes every model truly one-of-a-kind. CerxiS shares how he's spent thousands of hobby hours over the years perfecting his techniques, developing new ways to tell stories through miniatures, and creating some of the most impressive Alpha Legion models I've ever seen.
If you're like me and love the art of making your miniatures stand out on the battlefield, you're going to find a lot of inspiration here. Dive in with me as we explore how CerxiS turns simple bits into narrative masterpieces.
Happy Wargaming!
