Legio Custodes Pyrithite Spears – Elite Anti-Armour Weapon Set

Pyrithite Spears represent a very specific role in Adeptus Custodes forces on the tabletop: elite infantry that can threaten things most units bounce off. Units equipped like this aren’t just objective holders — they’re problem solvers. Pyrithite-style weapons are about closing distance, applying pressure, and forcing your opponent to respect infantry as a real danger to vehicles and heavily armoured targets. On the table, this kind of loadout is usually brought to: Threaten tanks and monsters without relying on vehicles Punish opponents who overcommit armour to the mid-board Support elite pushes with credible close-range damage Force opponents to screen and reposition more carefully They work especially well in small, elite armies where every unit needs to pull double duty — holding ground and presenting a serious threat. Visually, these spears read immediately as something different from standard infantry weapons, which helps opponents understand at a glance that these models aren’t just there to stand around. Why players run units like this Custodes armies reward precision. Pyrithite-equipped units give you a tool to crack hard targets without changing your overall game plan or sacrificing durability.
