If a model has move through cover but doesnt have assault grenades do they strike at I 1?

Yes.

What he said. There is no language similar to the Assault Grenades to allow them to bypass the Charging through Terrain restrictions.

Eh, I actually think this is debatable. Move Through Cover states you are not slowed for moving through difficult terrain. I assume that covers both movement wise and not being slowed to I1, but you should definitely ask your opponent first.

Thank you everyone

Being slowed is not the same thing as suffering the initiative penalty. You still suffer the initiative penalty, but do not subtract two from your charge distance

To represent this, if at least one model in the charging unit moved through difficult terrain as part of its charge move, all of the unit's models must attack at Initiative step 1, regardless of other Initiative modifiers, even if the charging unit is not slowed by difficult terrain.

So no, even with move through cover the initiative penalty remains unless they have assault grenades.

I will have to double-check the BRB, but I'm pretty sure the Move Through Cover special rule specifically states that the I1 penalty still applies.

It doesn't, but the mere existence of Ironclad Assault Launchers makes the answer fairly obvious.
