Actually, you don't need a bonus action to make an attack with your horns.
Quote:
• Massive Horns: You have a set of infernal horns growing from your skull. You may use these horns to make unarmed strikes and if you do, they deal 1d8 (maybe 1d6) + Str damage. In addition, when you take the Dash action you may make an unarmed strike with your horns or a shove at the end of your movement.
It doesn't say anything about requiring a bonus action. So a rogue could make a dash as a bonus action, attack with horns, and then perform a normal attack action.

From the 5E Arcanis Primer under Dark-kin Racial Traits.
Massive Horns
Thick horns sprout from your skull.
You are proficient with your horns and they deal 1d8 +
Strength piercing damage. When you use the Dash action
during your turn, you can make a melee attack or shove
with your horns as a
bonus action.So, seeing as you can only have one type of action per turn, usually, You give up your normal action to dash, then use a bonus action to attack with the horns. If you don't use the bonus action for the horn attack, you get no attack.
When writing this i noticed i did make a mistake. Its noted below.
So even if you are a rogue. You must (assuming the pc is a DK with massive horns and a melee attacker )
1. Give up your normal attack to perform the dash action, or give up your bonus action to perform the dash action.
2. Your bonus action is needed to attack with the horns, so if you used your bonus action to do the dash action, you cannot attack "per say" the way it is intended. However you can use your normal action to attack with your horns.
So either way you are not going to get a 2nd attack by having the horns and charging at your foe with them.
Edit: Perhaps the quote I used was from a previous edition of the Primer? Or i just miss quoted it. The clip i posted here is from the newest one.
