Tornscape · Press kit

A world worth exploring

Tornscape is a fantasy-punk skirmish miniatures game published by Ork's Workshop. Expeditionary forces explore a world of ruined civilizations, divine conflicts and unstable aether. Its public setting encyclopedia offers an additional route into the universe for readers, painters and collectors.

What happens on the table

Players choose a scenario, assemble expeditionary forces and god-card decks, and alternate miniature activations. Individual model cards describe actions and abilities. Reactions, aether vortices and scenario victory points are part of the game.

Coverage angles

Show a scenario decision and the alternatives facing a player; explore the visual design of a miniature; explain how the setting gives different factions competing reasons to enter the same ruins. For a worldbuilding feature, introduce Creation, Destruction, Life and Death as the four underlying forces of Torn.
