First some information about the board game Dark Age: "Abandoned in the collapse of their star-spanning empire the humans of Samaria must battle for survival; against each other, the monsters they have created and the harsh planet itself. This is no place for weakness, only through courage and determination can a man hope to endure in the savage wasteland. Dark Age is a gritty, D20 driven, post-apocalyptic skirmish miniatures game for your tabletop. The game contains rules that are easy to learn and get you into the action right away. You can tailor how you play your game by Activation Points and alternate activations. The game is illustrated by a number of top artists including the inimitable Brom; the world of Samaria is brought to life as never before. Will you become just another victim of this Dark Age or do you have what it takes to survive the Apocalypse?"



One of the fractions in the game is the Kukulkani



"Descending upon chosen planets and slaughtering the inhabitants like cattle, their Tecpatl blades slick with gore, the Kukulkani have returned to Samaria to settle an old score. The Kukulkani, far flung ancestors of the Mayans, were taken to the stars countless eons ago by their ancient alien masters. Their bodies reconfigured with technomantic surgery, chemical conditioning and DNA splicing, they are now the perfect killers. Led by their fanatical warrior priests the Kukulkani eagerly await the final battle, longing for the day when their thirsty blades drink their fill and they tear the still-beating heart from the chest of their final foe."

Here are some of the Kukulkani's models:

Project Path of the Balam
"This is a team project I've been working on recently at Brainstorm. The premise is a God of War style action game in a Mayan setting. Hope you enjoy!"



"The hero fights the first boss, the Feathered Serpent, atop the pyramid of the Sun."




"Balams are mortals born with a higher soul. From left to right: hero, main villain, main ally."




"The Red Balam, our protagonist, is a weary warrior coming back home, only to find chaos and destruction."




"The White Balam, the hero's twin, is a priest who studies the mysteries of the underworld, and ends up going too far."










"The Black Balam is a watchful guardian who protects the cities from underworld spirits."




"Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent God, is our first boss. Having swallowed the sun in his hunger for power, he struggles to contain it."




"Unable to control the sun's power, Kukulkan transforms into his giant serpent form mid-fight."




"Burning from the inside, the boss becomes more and more crazed as you finally destroy him."








"Feathered Serpent explorations. Closed..."




"...open."




"Earlier sketches"






"Some explorations for a gatekeeper character."




"Basic enemy zombie concepts."

Unfortunately I couldn't find good images of the Barad-dur and Mordor art from the appendices. Those are two really nice pieces.

Starliner Trading station from http://tryingtofly.deviantart.com/

"After the starliner crash in 5773 people on Marisol 5 figured out it's probably better to make a trading port in something that is already there and has all the resources lying around than trying to build something from scratch. The crash site was also very convenient."
