'''Hunting Lances''' are single-use weapons employed by [[Rough Rider Squadron]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]]. The lance is effectively a nine foot long shaft with a shaped explosive tip. When the lance impacts on an enemy the tip explodes, increasing the killing power already behind the lance. Once used, however, the lance is rendered useless for the remainder of the battle.
These weapons are an advanced versions of those used for hunting big game on [[Feral World]]. They are particularly effective against riotous mobs or compact hordes of infantry. When used properly, they can prove to be more effective against heavily armoured troops than a standard [[Lasgun]].In game terms, this is demonstrated by the Hunting Lance's ability to bypass armour saves when the unit charges
