[[Image:Custodesimage.jpg|right|thumb|150px|A Custodian armed with the traditional Guardian Spear.]]
The '''Guardian Spear''' was the traditional weapon of the [[Adeptus Custodes]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]]. The spears were halberd-like [[power weapon]]s incorporating a [[bolt weapon]]. The weapon's powerful ranged and close combat duality complemented the fighting style of this bodyguard force, giving them good capabilities in both close combat and at a distance. In battle, Custodes spin these weapons in great arcs, slaying enemies with each strike be it in melee combat or from afar.{{Fn|2}}
As symbol of their roles as sentinel, [[Deathwatch]] [[Watch Master]]s are also given Guardian Spears.{{Fn|3}}
