It's actually not that surprising when you think about it. Not counting Gilbert's move, dispatching knights average 24 moves per OM. Granite Guardians get 9 from their base move, plus 3 more for the Warden, for 12. In order for the GGs to match the knights in overall movement per OM, they just need the average GHG move to be one and a third moves. On a hilly map, the average GHG move is actually better than that.
The other thing that's really cool about their movement bonus is that you get to move every single GG in your army that extra space. In effect, the more GGs you have, the better their movement bonus becomes. They almosty remind me a bit of zombies the way so many creep up each move.
