Desert Ambush – 3D Printable STL Miniature Pack

Print the Adventure. Every Month.

Build your miniature collection one encounter at a time with the Charm & Ember Monthly STL Miniature Subscription.

Every month you'll receive a new themed collection of 3D printable fantasy miniatures, built around an encounter and ready for your tabletop. Each release includes enemies, characters, a premium boss or centerpiece miniature, and terrain designed to work together—or drop individually into your existing campaigns.

Your files are delivered digitally, so there’s no shipping and no waiting. Download your STLs, fire up your 3D printer, and bring the month's adventure to life.

Subscribe for $12/month and get each new monthly release for less than the individual pack price.

What You Get Every Month

10 Themed Enemies
Build encounters, populate battlefields, or print an entire group of enemies from the month's theme.

3 Character & NPC Miniatures
Allies, merchants, travelers, troublemakers, quest-givers, and characters ready to drop into your world.

1 Premium Miniature
A larger monster, boss, or detailed centerpiece designed to become the focus of an encounter.

1 Terrain or Encounter Piece
A themed objective, terrain feature, or environmental piece to help turn a collection of miniatures into an actual scene.

Pre-Supported & Unsupported STL Files
Print using our prepared files or support the models yourself for your preferred printer and settings.

Monthly Encounter Content
When available, releases include encounter ideas, stat blocks, or downloadable adventure material to help get the minis onto the table.

Print Them Your Way

These are downloadable STL files designed for hobbyists with their own 3D printers. Print the models you need for this week's game, build an entire enemy horde, or print another copy when somebody inevitably knocks a miniature off the table.

No inventory limits. No waiting for another shipment.

Download. Print. Paint. Play.

This Month's STL Pack: Desert Ambush

The streets are crowded. The alleys are narrow.

And everyone wants what's inside the cache.

Desert Ambush brings a complete fantasy desert-city encounter to your 3D printer, with smugglers, thieves, hired muscle, colorful NPCs, a dangerous objective, and one very large problem lurking beneath the streets.

Print the collection as a complete encounter or use the models individually throughout your campaign.

Included in Desert Ambush:

Desert Bruiser, Desert Clubber, Desert Blade, Desert Executioner, Desert Knife Thrower, Desert Brawler, Desert Smoke Thrower, Desert Snake Handler, Desert Dragonborn Enforcer, Desert Courtesan, Table Dancer, Desert Fence, Loot Goblin, Giant Scorpion, and the Smuggler's Cache terrain piece.

That gives Google a shitload of context without us reproducing the entire enormous story section from the physical product page.

Digital-specific FAQ

I'd absolutely put this at the bottom because these are also useful searchable phrases.
