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 Caster]]or [[Melta Weapon|Melta Beam]]{{Fn|4}}. 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}}
