If I give the Wight King Sword of Striking and put him in a unit of grave guard with the Barrows, If he is swinging on something that would normal need a 3 to hit, does he auto hit?

No. "Sometimes modifiers apply to these rolls, but a natural dice score of 6 always hits, and a natural dice score of 1 always misses." p.50 BRB

Got it, thanks. However it would allow for hitting same weapon skill enemies on 2+ etc.

Technically you CAN be at 1+ to hit, but a 1 still fails. This matters when the enemy has negative hit modifiers. So if you are trying to hit a nurgle model, you'd be a 1+ to hit, -1 to hit, making you effectively a 2+ to hit.

It doesn't come up often, but when it does it matters.

Gotcha. Stupid Nurgle. lol

Nurgle is -1WS in combat, as per the FAQ
