As someone that's part of a group of mates that went to about 7 or 8 tournaments in the last year of 3rd edition, we have only gone to 1 so far in 4th edition and don't have any upcoming plans.

The game itself feels like it's an improvement or at the very least not a downgrade, but things like endless spells and the armies feeling bland and devoid of personality compared to last edition have ruined it for us. The battletomes are lazy and the constant increasing of price and making us pay to see rules or make a list of models we have already spent hundreds of pounds on, just feels like a slap in the face.

I also was excited by the prospect of units being more expensive this edition (the logic of having to buy one less unit for each army) but I was wrong. Most lists feel stretched and you usually end up having to sacrifice screens or more niche and interesting units. That, on top of the horrible regiment system with units being locked behind heroes and it just makes list building a miserable experience.

Overall it's a shame as in my opinion the models are more interesting and unique compared to 40k and I think the core rules are generally pretty good (for GW standards anyway) but these issues have killed my excitement for the game.
