[[File:Custodes Contemptor-Galatus Spear.jpg|400px|right|thumb|For when you want to duel a greater demon and come out on top.]]
Swap the sword and board (so loosing the minus 1 to hit, extra attacks and loose a point of invulnerability) for more overall hitting power. The spear variant of the custodes dreadnought is much more of a glass cannon, as you want it charging over, and over again, not because it hits harder (which it does, double the damage against some targets) but because it deals mortal wounds on the charge, a rarity and essential against all those high saves.

Despite its “reduced” survivability it will still trade upwards against its favourite targets, that being light vehicles (T7 and below), but even against other dreadnoughts and demon princes it will happily win its engagements.
