			Nowadays in 9th edition, the Galatus is T/S7 with 9 wounds, 6 attacks, and it moves 8”. Like with most Custodes, it has the standard 2+ armor save. However, its kit is as follows. It has a giant fucking sword (S7 AP-3 D3, and an additional d3 attacks.) and an equally giant fucking shield (4+ invuln and -1 to hit in melee). Its job is to charge into something like a Daemon Primarch and smack it with its sword so hard Magnus’ skin will look pale in comparison.

With the release of the Custodes army, the Custodes Contemptor Dreadnoughts are finally given tabletop form. And my goodness is this thing decked out in the only way that could make a Custodes a Custodes; overdone and overdecorated equipment. The Contemptor-Galatus pattern Dreadnoughts are equipped with a <s>gigantic</s> EXS BAWKS HEUG [[Power weapon#Galatus Warblade\|Galatus Warblade]] with a twin-linked [[Infernus Incinerator\|Infernus Flamer]] attached to said blade, [[Awesome\|so you can literally shoot fire out your giant-ass swords]] like you're in [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. For defense, the Custodes Dreadnought carries an equally EXS BAWKS HEUG Dreadnought-sized Praesidium Shield. While the already tough as nails armor of the Contemptor Dreadnought is quite noted on tabletop, giving the giant golden tin-can of doom a fuckhuge Stormshield is just compensating for something.

	The exact <strike>GW kitchen latin</strike> High Gothic etymology for 'Galatus' is not certain. It is probably a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatia Galatia], an ancient region of nowadays Anatolia (central Turkey) where the Emperor was born.

	Don't like the sword and shield ? It's fine, you can take a EXS BAWKS HEUG Dreadspear with an in-built Corvae Las-Pulser which can be wielded in either one or both hands instead.

	The '''Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought''' is noted to be an upgraded/modified Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought. Furthermore, other than the rapestick known as the Dreadspear, the Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought could also be armed with a choice of two wrist-mounted Storm bolters, Infernus incinerators or Adrathic destructors. Since the Custodes get better stuff than Space Marines it's most likely packing Specialist Ammo, Heliothermic Shells or [[Dark Angels\|Molecular Acid Boltshells]].
