Ok, so this is probably a stupid question but RAW seemed ambiguous to me.

Was playing a game against a Necron player. He had a squad of Lychguard attempting to charge my Dire Avengers. The initlal charger could make a charge onto the unit without having to go through difficult terrain. There were some models in the unit that would have to pass through difficult terrain to make the most direct approach into the assault, even though the initial charging model didn't. I am correct in saying that because some of the models had to pass through difficult terrain for the most direct route to the nearest enemy model, that the unit had to make a 3d6 charge roll as opposed to 2d6 even though the initial charger was not in, and didn't have to pass thru, difficult terrain to make the charge. This is correct is it not?

Yes if any one of the models has to go through terrain it's 3d6 drop the highest.

A related question:

If I have a squad of 10 guardians positioned 3" away from an enemy tactical squad and roll 10" for my charge range, may I move the "non-initial" chargers a full 10" to surround the enemies and get more units into base to base contact?

Given that you have to move into base contact where possible, that's not only allowed but required by the assault rules.

Yes. In fact, you MUST do so. p.21, 2nd bullet, right hand side.
