→Contemptor-Achillus Class Dreadnought
In those isolated cases where the body has been all but irrevocably destroyed but the Custodian’s mind remains intact and their will to survive undimmed, internment within the cold and unyielding body of a Dreadnought is the next step. To this purpose, the few Dreadnoughts of the Legio Custodes are as singularly advanced as their other wargear, outfitted with weapons and systems artificer-made by the servants of the Imperial Court. At the time of the outbreak of the [[Horus Heresy]], the most widely employed was the Contemptor-Achillus, a general battle unit which combined phenomenal strength and speed with the echoes of the interned Custodes’ own unmatched martial skill.{{Fn|7}}
The primary weapon of the Contemptor-Achillus was the mighty [[Dreadspear]], a weapon modeled closely on the Custodes [[Guardian Spear]] but larger and equipped with a [[Corve Las-PulsarPulser]]. It was also equipped with two wrist-mounted [[storm bolter]]s, [[incinerator]]s or [[Adrathic destructor]]s.{{Fn|7}}
