There's already a Rapid Fire Battle Cannon on the Barron in the Knightworld list set to 2x AP/AT+ I'd suggest using this opposed to the ap/at 3+ you have now.
I think the lance getting first strike only on charge is a useful feature. It encourages Knight players to be more aggressive and initiate the assaults, and it rewards opponents for getting the drop on Knights. I get that the change makes lancers a bit more reliable but it does remove some of the skill needed to use them or attack them. Just a mild concern really though.
I think the Baron Rapid Fire Battle Cannon would be too good. I'll re-name the Questoris version "Questoris Battlecannon" instead, as that is the Heresy-era name for the same thing.
And about the lance first strike thing: I used to agree with you, but then I had a look at the E-UK knights that get it all the time... The NetEA Knights have some definite problems in winning engages, and as a low activation army with low strategy rating they're really not going to get the jump on the opponent all that often...
Anyhow, I think giving the Questoris Knights 4+ FF might be a good compromise. And the NetEA Lancer is really weak, and I'd like to make the Questoris Mechanicus version slightly better.
