Pre-Malifaux Wyrd Miniatures

[Dogmantra]

I didn't get into Malifaux until 2e, so I haven't been around for a big part of Wyrd's history as a company. I was just wondering about the miniatures from back before Wyrd also did games. Any pictures or info on their lines? It's pretty hard to find with a google.

I vaguely remember reading that Leveticus started life as just a mini and was given rules when M1e came out. Am I just making stuff up or is this true? If so, anyone else who got their start before Malifaux existed?

 

Any info is interesting

Have you seen the images from the first few Chronicles?

Edit:  My bad, I hadn't looked at the first few issues in a while, I thought they had started out with pre-Malifaux models instead of previews for the Malifaux models.

From what I recall from conversations with Wyrd's old developers, a lot of the 1st edition Malifaux models began life as Wyrd's Pre-game models (though their were holes in the crews). When they decided to make a game (according to myth it was a bit of an off the cuff comment Nathan made during an interview when asked if they had a game for their miniatures that got the ball rolling in that regard) one of the requirements was that their existing range form the base for the new game. For the most part this occurred however there were a few that didn't make the cross over (poor Wuppwecht and Donna) these became the Wyrd Twisted range.
