That's not stylistic, that's bad art.

Like i said, nothing wrong with munchkin but I hate the style of the artwork. I know it's their established style but it just reeks of laziness every time i see it.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Individuals are free to feel disappointment.
It’s the sweeping ‘the big I AM’ that I’ll always take exception to.

When GW announces something with just a few hours notice, it is probably not going to be a big deal. They are saving the good stuff for Warhammerfest and their seminar at Nova.

But this is Steve ‘co-founder’ Jackson getting at least partially back in bed with GW?
And given Munchkin is satirical, it says a lot about GW extract stick from butt.

Kinda disappointed in 40k Munchkin too. Got tired of that game a long time ago. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

40k- The Kumunga Swarm  (more)
Count Mortimer’s Private Security Force/Excavation Team  (building)
Kabal of the Grieving Widow  (less)
Plus other games- miniature and cardboard both. |

That super star Destroyer (is that Executor, from Empire & Jedi?) looks great! How much bigger would a Dreadnought from 'The Last Jedi' be? I'd imagine they'll try to do one of those if they can.
Muntchkin 40k is kind of a let down for the 'big surprise' reveal. But to be fair, I can't think of what third party GW property tabletop game would have impressed me?
Thanks to all who've gotten pictures. Hope you have a great time!

Already have Gretchinz. It's great! The box securely holds the little go-karts, and you can buy 2 boxes and assemble the go-karts in color combinations to allow 8 players. I really like it and so did my group.

IIRC it's a light card game where you try to get to level 10 by defeating monsters which earns you levels and loot (which boost your effective level in combat). You have your character and equipment in front of you and a hidden hand of cards that you can boost your combat with. When you fight a monster, they typically have a level and you simply need to beat that total with your character + any relevant temporary boosts you play (then discard) from your hand. Your fellow players can play their own cards to buff the enemy as well if you're close to winning (or just to mess with you even if you're not). Most cards are humorous both in the description, art, and effects either on you or the monster they're played on.

I hope it will be and I'm looking forward to the humor most personally. I doubt I'll play it much. The "propainted" card above could also be used as a curse given the rep the phrase has on ebay auctions.

Going by the in-universe sizes of those ships, the Last Jedi Dreadnought model should be a bit more than a third of the size of the Executor class. (7.7km compared to 19km, to be more exact)
I kind of like the idea of 40k Munchkin, should be fun.
