So thinking of getting some more ctonian beserks for my growing votann and thinking of building them woth the Plasma axes but have a rule I'm not clear on. So the league I run gives +1 attack on the charge but if I go with the sweep profile of the axes they make 2 hit rolls instead of 1. Wondering if the +1 attack goes on first meaning they get 8 attacks each or if it goes on after meaning they'd get 7 attacks. (Base attack stat is 3)

Yes you would make 8 hit rolls. As for each attack you roll two hit dice.

In a more technical answer if it said double the number of attacks then it would be 3 doubled plus one. But since each attack has 2 hit rolls. Each attack its technically separate so you would roll two dice for each attack.
That is good to know for separating attacks since you need to do it by attack.
So if you have wanted to put one attack in a character. It would be one attack so two hit rolls on the character and 3 attacks, 6 hit rolls on anouther unit. For example.

Yup order of operations is really important here.
Determining number of attacks happens BEFORE hit rolls. So plus one attack just gives you an extra attack, so 3+1=4, then if you happen to choose the sweep profile during select weapon step, then during the the hit roll step you make two rolls for each attack, effectively doubling up your attacks.
Whenever something math related happens at the same step, you use BEDMAS to solve, but when they happen at different sub steps you resolve everything in the first step before starting the next one.
