Orcs show up for generations.

From the earliest days of tabletop fantasy gaming, orcs have been one of the defining threats of the adventuring life. They're the raiders on the horizon, the warbands gathering in the hills, the mercenaries guarding a villain's stronghold, and the savage tribes pushing against the borders of civilization. Whether your heroes are first-level adventurers defending a frontier village or seasoned veterans carving their way through enemy territory, chances are they'll cross blades with orcs sooner or later.

That's exactly why we've been hard at work on our newest addition to the EmberTale Games miniature range:

The Orc Warband Pack.

Coming soon to our Campaign Classics collection, this set will feature 9 brand-new STL miniatures designed to help Dungeon Masters build one of fantasy gaming's most iconic encounter groups.

Dungeon Masters don't need miniatures that only work in one highly specific scenario.

They need miniatures they'll actually use.

Orcs have remained a staple of fantasy roleplaying for decades because they fit naturally into so many different stories. A band of orc raiders can threaten a merchant caravan. A larger force can occupy ruined keeps or mountain passes. They can serve as the brutal soldiers of a greater evil—or be the greater evil themselves.

Need an ambush on a forest road?

Orcs.

Need defenders for a hill fort?

Orcs.

Need a warband hunting the party across the wilderness?

Orcs!

Need the climactic battle against a savage chieftain before his forces descend on a nearby kingdom?

Definitely orcs.

Few fantasy enemies offer the same combination of familiarity, flexibility, and immediate tabletop recognition. Players instantly understand the danger an orc warband represents.

And Dungeon Masters know they'll use those miniatures again and again.

One of the goals behind our Campaign Classics line has always been to celebrate the enduring visual language of vintage tabletop gaming.

Over the years, fantasy miniatures have trended toward increasingly elaborate designs. Layers of armor, excessive ornamentation, oversized weapons, and intricate details can certainly look impressive in display pieces—but they don't always translate well to practical tabletop use.

Classic fantasy art approached things differently.

The orcs of early roleplaying games had strong silhouettes and unmistakable personalities. They looked dangerous without becoming overly complicated. You could identify them instantly across the gaming table.

That's the spirit we've aimed to capture with the Orc Warband Pack.

These miniatures embrace a more traditional fantasy aesthetic inspired by the classic era of tabletop gaming while still benefiting from modern digital sculpting techniques. The result is a set designed to feel familiar in the best possible way: rugged, imposing, and ready to take their place in countless adventures.

Because sometimes the best designs are the ones that remind us why we fell in love with fantasy gaming in the first place.

Like every EmberTale Games release, these models were created with actual play in mind.

We believe tabletop miniatures should be useful.

That means clear silhouettes that are easy to distinguish during combat. Practical designs that print reliably on resin and FDM printers. Consistent scaling that fits naturally alongside the rest of your collection.

Most importantly, it means creating miniatures that earn their place in your library of STL files.

No filler.

No one-off novelty monsters you'll never use.

Just dependable encounter pieces designed to support the stories Dungeon Masters tell every week.

The upcoming Orc Warband Pack will bring together everything we love about the Campaign Classics series: timeless fantasy inspiration, practical tabletop design, and miniatures built for repeated use across years of adventures.

Whether your players are exploring ancient ruins, defending isolated settlements, or standing against a rising tide of violence from the wilderness beyond the map's edge, a good orc warband is never far from the action.

Soon, you'll have one ready to print whenever duty calls.

The drums are sounding.

The banners are rising.

And the Orc Warband Pack is coming soon to EmberTale Games.

Keep an eye out!
