==Overview==

Guardian Spears are halberd-like [[power weapon]]s{{Fn|1}} so heavy that it would take several ordinary men to lift it{{Fn|4}} and incorporating a 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|1}}

As symbol of their roles as sentinel, [[Deathwatch]] [[Watch Master]]s are also given Guardian Spears known as [[Vigil Spear]]s.{{Fn|7}}
