I would like to see bone swords become a AP 2 Force Weapon with Armor Bane

They already ignore all armour saves. If something were to be released that had a 1+ armour save, it would not get an armour save. If they were AP2 then they would (and yes I do know the rules clearly state you cannot have a save better than 2+). The only benefit giving them AP2 has is better damage results.
The only model that would benefit from them being Force weapons would be Hive Tyrants, as everything else that can take them is not a psyker.
Armourbane i could take it or leave it.

I would not. I agree they should be AP 2, armour bane may be a bit much considering everything that can get it has access to at least strength 5 making even land raiders not safe. Maybe give them a rending like add a D3 to your armour pen roll, that makes land raiders safer. Force weapon would be a bit pointless due to only psykers being able to use it, i'd prefer it to stay as a leadership test, making it a bonus to the weapon rather then the main attraction.

The Bonesword is actually a great weapon, the problem is the wielders. Hive Tyrants are at the moment only/most viable as Dakka Flyrants, and then you have Warriors and Shrikes which people think are too weak. Then there is the Prime. A decent model no doubt but its a single HQ model that competes with Flyrants, Biomancy Swarmlord and Tervigons.
