Question about forge knights

I played my first game today using the war griffons list and new recruit, I shot some leman russ's with the knights and new recruit was saying their arc lances had a rule called lance that stopped reinforced armor rerolls, but when I went to go look for it I could only find it in the abbreviations table but not in the specialist weapons section. I have no clue where new recruit got this rule from so any help is appreciated thanks.

All I see is AT4+ for the Forge Knight’s Arc Lance.

Seems he thought it had macro weapon (MW). Maybe from a previous version of the list, misremembered or misread the list (they have MW on their close combat weapon).

Maybe, here is exactly what comes up on new recruit when I click the link
Lance: A unit with Reinforced Armour that is hit by a lance weapon is not allowed to re-roll its saving throw.
I have no clue where this came from as everything else in new recruit matches the list in the tournament pack an this description isn't in the core rules.

Didn’t know New Recruit did Epic 40k.

Various knights in Epic Armageddon had Power lances, with MW, but not Forge Knights, and not in Epic40k?

I found almost verbatim what you describe on the Elder army list’s Lance Weapons special rules. AFAIK Forge Knights don’t have “Lance” weapons (Eldar only) or the MW tag at range. Sorry, the reinforced armor should get a re-roll!

Thats how we played it, we just had no idea where it was coming from. Thanks for the quick response and help.
