Fixing the Power Spear/Lance

     

     So I'm not sure about all of you, but the power lance seems like one of the biggest wastes of 15 points. I even forget that it exists sometimes because the sword, axe, and mace are all that I use or hear about online. I really like the idea of a power spear for my Space Wolves. Imagine a pack of Thunderwolf cavalry charging with a power spear! That would be pretty awesome. But as it is, i would probably go with the chainsword instead. So I thought we should talk about why it is rarely (if ever) used on the tabletop and how it can be improved to bring it up to par with the other power weapons. Read on for the revised rules:

Current Power Lance:
-On the assault: S+1,AP3
-Every other turn: S:user, AP4

      This really doesn't make sense to me. The biggest thing about spears isn't that they make you hit harder (especially not as hard as an axe). Their main advantage is that you can keep your enemies further away from you and strike first. With that in mind, here is a potential profile for the revised power lance:
Revised Power Lance:
-On the assault: I+2, AP3
-Every other turn: I:user, AP4
Or:
Revised Power Lance2:
-On the assault: +1 to S and I, AP3
-Every other turn: S and I:user, AP4
So what do you guys think. Do these new rules seem like an improvement? Are they too good? Are the original power spears actually really useful and I just don't know how to use them?
