Cute lil fellas arn't threy

They look very nice. Im not sure what Malifaux is but what are they surposed to do?

From the Malifaux site:

Based in an alternate Earth, Malifaux uses gothic, steampunk, Victorian horror with a dose of the wild west to inject fun and depth into the magical lawlessness of a world rife with monsters, necropunks, man-machine hybrids, gunslingers, and power-hungry politicos. Actively using character-driven stories to define the world of Malifaux, seek your fortune in this fast-paced and brutal 32mm tabletop miniature skirmish game. Assemble your crew and stake your claim!

It uses playing cards rather than dice for resolution, and you get a random hand of cards that allow you to cheat fate which is like the strap-line.

The Ice Gamin are Constructs made from ice that their Master can see through their eyes, and they shatter in a small explosion when killed. It's useful because the Crew they fit into is a ranged Crew so it gives you flexibility for sneaky shots (at least, I think that's how it's meant to work, only just started playing).
