A '''Power Lance''', also known as a '''Power Spear'''{{Fn|3}} is a special type of [[power weapon]], a power blade mounted on the end of a long shaft.<sup>{{Fn|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>{{Fn|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|bikesbike]] s 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>{{Fn|1</sup> }}
Larger versions of the Power Lance are also employed by Imperial [[Knight]] walkers, particularly [[Knight Lancer]]s.{{Fn|4}}
