Thanks!
They're for Puppet Wars, it's one of the newer generation of board games with unit diversity/force composition choices, that tend to fall half-way between board games and miniature games.
The game's put out by Wyrd (known for Malifaux), and uses decks with hands-- it's a modified/simplified version of the Malifaux system.
The game is actually going through testing and resculpting for a second edition that has slightly larger plastic minis-- the previewed new minis are similar in feel, but way nicer details.
edit: a pic of the sample minis--
