Wargames - Warhammer 40,000 Ed8 - Unit types and model suggestions
The Warhammer 40,000 Ed8 system has Warhammer 40,000 Ed8 miniatures produced by Games Workshop for almost every unit type in the rulebook. However, there are several miniatures that could be used as good substitues, if you don't have access to the original, or if you'd like some variety in your collection of miniatures.

The Zombicide Season 1 board game from Guillotine Games & CoolMiniOrNot. is a great game with simple rules that can be easily modified to fit the taste of the players.
Difficulty can be set to a level agreed by the players. A normal game uses 0 Difficulty. An easier game gets into negative, while a hard game is high in number. I've assigned some ad hoc number that will need to be tailored for a balanced game.

Wargames have strict rules, and some of them are not easy to learn. That's why is fortunate if you have someone who can initiate you to playing the game. This is the reason more experienced players do demonstrations (demos) of games they know and like.
I've collected some of my thoughts about running wargame demos for beginners.
Keep in mind that my tips are for organising the play of two beginner players. I'll indicate when I write about playing against the beginner in a demo.
Wargames - Playing Afterlife Ed1 v1.3 on Games Day Budapest 2016 - Imperial Space Gameplay narrative
Article updated: 2016.12.29
I played a game of Afterlife Ed1 v1.3 with Tóth Dániel (Grosh) on Games Day Budapest 2016. This is the account of the events that occured there.
The game was played for an Ellenor Renard miniature as a prize, so we have created a story around that during the convention. As I'm still unfamilar with the Afterlife universe, I'm writing the narrative incorporating the elements of the Forlorn Stars (Imperial Space) setting. The Unity Council forces became the Imperial army, Ellenor became Doctor Daniele Thomassen, a field medic, the Marine Corps became Imperial Marines, the Ajax Exo-suits became Imperial Knights, and the Pan Continental Republic forces became the soldiers of the local militia.
On the Games Day Budapest 2016 I had the opportunity to try Afterlife, a futuristic wargame from Anvil Industry. Lehoczky Tamás (Zirrian) and Tóth Dániel (Grosh), members of The Forge Club, painted their squads to top quality, and did game demos all day long during the convention. They used the beautiful lava boards created by the Scenery World Workshop. Every player who participated in a demo game received a wonderful Kickstarter exclusive female swordsman, Ellenor Renard.
I played a game with Tóth Dániel (Grosh), so I decided to share my experiences.
