Welcome to Siege-Engine.com.

This is the home of Team Tormentum.
We build modern siege engines, compete in charity Chunkin competitions, make guest appearances for Class Rooms and Television shows, and are willing to help local charity events using our siege engines.

Consider helping Team Tormentum maintain this web site of our adventures by visiting one of our sponsors. Buying Model Siege Engines from Ron Toms, Books from Amazon, and even a Domain Name from Domain Direct provides the pennies needed to keep a web site like this alive.
