Similar in aspect to the Contemptor Dreadnoughts of the [[Legiones Astartes]], the '''Contemptor-Galatus''' is a markedly superior war machine. The unrivalled skills of the warrior entombed within its sarcophagus notwithstanding, the Contemptor-Galatus is stronger, faster and better armoured.{{Fn|7e}}
Designed to provide an anchor for a [[Legio Custodes]] battleline, the Contemptor-Galatus is armed in similar fashion to the Custodes themselves – wielding a huge [[Galatus Warblade]] with its inbuilt twin-linked infernus [[infernus incinerator]], and equipped with a vastly enlarged version of the Custodes [[Praesidium shield]]. Already able to withstand heavy assaults with its armour and [[refractor field]], the Praesidium shield allows the Contemptor-Galatus stand nigh on impregnable, enduring the enemy onslaught and reaping a murderous toll with its immense power blade.{{Fn|7e}}
