Those Patriarch rules are wonderful. Same stat line as the Spawn of Cryptus, but with an extra psychic mastery level, better powers, Fear, Fearless, IC and a familiar (whatever that does). Now I can hopefully use my Spawn as a decent character in his own right, rather than a Broodlord +1.
I'm hoping, as others have said, that this covers the difference between Broodlords and Patriarchs, because the Spawn's fluff has always screamed Patriarch at me.

I am really liking how easy it will be to turn that White Scar character into Ko'sarro Khan on Moondrakken. Literally just switching the DW pauldron out for a terminator honours pauldron will be all you need to do. The Dark Angel could be a good stand in for Cypher. Just swap the pauldrons around, give him a normal pauldron instead of a DW pauldron. Cut the power sword off and replace it with a bolt pistol and find a nice sword to put on his back. The Raven Guard character can be changed to Strike with a simple pauldron swap and some paint. Not really seeing any other simple character conversions.

The Cassius model is quite aged now, and the new one only needs a quick weapon and a headswap to make him old and spacist.

Those are some damn good rules IMO. I can see potential for fun with Patriarch Ghosar, he's everything I wanted, and the Trysst family seem to be pretty good too. There's not one page of rules there that have disappointed me, and I think I now need these models.
