A Legio Custodes Sagittarum Guard, wielding an Adrastus Bolt Caliver.
An Adrastus Bolt Caliver is a unique Combi-weapon of relic technology first developed for and utilised exclusively by, the forces of the Legio Custodes, the elite bodyguard of the Emperor of Mankind, during the Great Crusade.
Developed as a hybrid of later pattern Imperial bolter weapon designs and Dark Age of Technology "Adrastite" directed-energy beam weapons prohibited from general Great Crusade issue, the Adrastus Bolt Caliver is a potent shoulder arm serving as a portable heavy weapon for the Adeptus Custodes.
This combination weapon is able to unleash a fusillade of explosive rounds at long range with the potency of the Heavy Bolters carried by the Adeptus Astartes, or at shorter ranges fire a directed energy disintegration beam able to rip a target apart at a molecular level, causing its victims to cease to exist in a howling flare of energy.
