===Weaponry===
Some Custodes further protect themselves by carrying a [[Praesidium Shield]], [[Storm Shield]]{{Fn|13}}, and/or wearing [[Terminator Armour]].{{Fn|25h}}
For armament, the Custodes are renowned for carrying [[Guardian Spear]]s, mighty power weapons that have been carried by the Adeptus Custodes since long before the Emperor's confinement. This weapon is closely associated with the Custodes, and is depicted on their banners and badges.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|4a}}{{Fn|5}} Other melee weapons carried by Custodes include the Guardian Spear's cousins, the [[Interceptor Lance]] and the [[Venatari Lance]], as well as [[Sentinel Blade]]s(and their rarer cousins, [[Vaultsword]]s), [[Power Knife|Power KnivesMisericordia]], and [[Custodes Vexilla]]e{{Fn|13}}, and [[Castellan Axe]]s.
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.{{Fn|55}}
