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]], [[Melta Weapon|Melta Beam]]{{Fn|4}}, or [[Adrathic Destructor]]{{Fn|4}}ranged weapon at its tip. 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}}
