First of all I apologise for asking a question that will only highlight my lack of 40k knowledge.

I have recently posted a GK army list in the relevant forum and got a bit of feedback. One chap said that the Death Cult Assassins "have AP3 INT6 or AP2 INT1 attacks [your choice each round of combat with Sword and Ax one in each hand]"

Is this correct? If so where are the rules covering this?

Thanks in advance . . .

The DCA come with two Power Weapons, allowing you to model them as you wish. If you give them an Axe and a Sword then yes, your attacks will either be S3 Ap3 I6 or S4 Ap2 I1

As above. Since they have two power weapons, you are free to model each power weapon as you wish. Each will then have the appropriate characteristics.

I tend to recommend the Power Maul as one of those options (typically replacing the sword in that specific scenario). The +2 strength is very nice, and AP-4 is decent. (at least in my xeno-filled metagame anyway.)

I'd gladly take Maul/Axe.

use magnets, so you can swap weapons any time you wish.

Small note here that DCA are STR 4 base, so it'd be S4 AP3 I6, S5 AP2 I1

Does modeling them with a sword in one hand and an axe in the other mean that during the I5 step you swing with the sword than in the I1 step you swing with the axe or is it that you get to choose either/or but not both? I ask this because of the situation that would arise when you charged (or any other +1A modifier), what weapon would get the extra attack(s)? It may be as simple as "you get to choose"...

You pick one or the other, and get the +1 attack from having 2 CCW because you are holding the other one. Atleast that is my understanding

That is correct. The rules tell you that when you have more than one CCW you have to choose which to use, and all attacks are made with that weapon
