We've got a brand new competition for you to win a box canvas print of John Blanche's classic 2nd Edition 40K cover!
The canvas print measures 30"x20". Click through to WarhammerArt.com to see more awesome artwork from the 40K universe!
..."But what do I need to do to win this sweet prize?", we hear you ask.
We want you to create a Haiku, inspired by Chainsaw Warrior!
What better way to convey the ludicrous world, exaggerated characters, and brutally visceral action of Chainsaw Warrior, than through the simple elegance found in the artistic expression of Haiku?
Perhaps these miniatures will help get you inspired?
There are no rules, except for the rules inherent in Haiku: it must consist of just 3 lines, the first and last of which have 5 syllables, with the middle line having 7 syllables.
Send over your best Haiku to us here at Auroch Digital by 18th July via jake@aurochdigital.com to stand a chance of winning! If you haven't yet, you can pick up both games for 50% off on all platforms! Check out the savings on Steam, iOS and Android now in the links below;
Best of luck !

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Who told the Emperor, you bore us!
We've embraced the Ruinous Powers,
accept our condolences, we'll send flowers.
And by the way, that sound, is our fleet bombarding your palatial towers.

Amazing! I just entered. Thanks for posting this!
My entry was entitled:
"The Only Difference Between Chainsaw Warrior The App vs How I Used To Play The Original Boardgame As A Kid"
(A haiku with a title longer than the haiku itself)
I didn't cheat much,
Just re-rolled stats now and then.
I can't in the App.

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleyways and mugs them for loose grammar.

I can't comment as to the artistic merits of your poem by you should win just for the amazing accuracy of it!

I actually really like the chainsaw warrior apps. The sound effects in particular are great, very campy.

There once was a Necron named Ace
Who wooed girls all over space.
But once they glanced at,
His special enhancement,
They vanished with nary a trace.
