→Weaponry
As befitting of their role as the Emperor's guards, the Custodes were given access to the finest and most advanced technologies of the Imperium. This is often reflected in their vehicle designs, which are mostly [[anti-grav]]. The Custodian Guard is known to have used [[Grav-Rhino]]s, [[Caladius]], [[Pallas]], and [[Coronus]] [[Grav-Tank]]s, and '''Paragon Pattern''' [[Jetbike]]s.{{Fn|4}} For aircraft, they used the [[Orion Gunship|Orion]] and [[Ares Gunship|Ares]] gunships at least during the Great Crusade-era.
In the ten thousand years since the Heresy, the Custodes have meticulously maintained and preserved much of their equipment. However, few of their technologically advanced vehicles remain, and they rarely use post-heresy designs.{{Fn|19}} Yet there are rumors rumours that they still posses powerful grav-tanks, and other, even more potent patterns of war machine that date back to the [[Dark Age of Technology|age of wonder]].{{Fn|54}}
When heavy support is needed, the Adeptus Custodes ride to battle inside the indomitable [[Venerable Land Raider]]s{{Fn|25i}} and [[Telemon Heavy Dreadnought]]s.
