[[File:Power lance DWFF.jpg|right|thumb|[[Space Marine]] Power Lance]]A '''Power Lance''' , also known as a '''Power Spear'''{{Fn|3}} is a special type of [[power weapon]] used by [[Space Marines]] of the [[White Scars]] [[Chapter]]<sup>1</sup>, a power blade mounted on the end of a long shaft. <sup>2</sup>Like most power weapons, it can tear through all manners of material with ease thanks to its disruptive energy field generated around the blade.{{Fn|3}}
==Imperial Power Lances==
[[Space Marines]] of the [[White Scars]] [[Chapter]] often favor Power Lances<sup>1</sup>
Built by the Chapter's [[Techmarines]] to take advantage of their battle-brothers' style of combat, the Power Lance functions in a similar manner to other power weapons, but is much longer in reach. Able to wield them with one hand, White Scars riding [[Space Marine Bike|bikes]] can cause tremendous damage using their Power Lances in a charge against enemy forces. However, the longer reach comes at a price, as the lance is unwieldy to use in hand-to-hand fighting.<sup>1</sup>
==Eldar==
Both the [[Eldar|Craftworld Eldar]] and [[Dark Eldar]] utilize Power Lances.{{Fn|3}}
