The lance is one of my favorite custom Lego weapons, because what is an awesome knight Minifigure without a lance? Well...and a jousting helmet, jousting plume, and city watch armor. Yes, the city watch armor is designed so that one arm has great movability for jousting! The demon armor works too. Yay Lego knights!
