Apologies if this has been previously covered.

A unit of 5 Goblin riders upgraded to Wolf Riders charge, they attack with:

A) 5 Heavy Bites A1, AP(1) for a total of 5 attacks or

B) 5 Heavy Bites A1, AP(1) + 5 Hand Weapons A1 for a total of 10 attacks?

A unit of 3 Orc Giant Boar Riders; Hand Weapons (A1), Tusks (A2, AP(1)), Furious, Impact(3) would have:

6 Tusks Attacks x impact(3) + 3 Tusk Attack for Furious = 21 Hits at AP(1)

+

3 Hand Weapons x Impact(3) = 9 Hits

for a total of 30 automatic hits?

Complex question but answer will clarify a lot of ground.

Thanks.

B) A model will always attack with all valid weapons.

For the second part, I think you don't understand Impact.
Impact(X) only causes as many flat hits as its X.
Impact does not cause any other attacks to automatically hit.

In the case of the Boar Riders you get a total of:
9 flat hits from Impact, 3 models with Impact(3) each.
6 Attacks from Tusks
3 Attacks from Hand weapons
3 Attacks from Furious, most likely to be applied to the Tusks.
