Stationary/Knockdown during a model's activation

[Rofel]

If a model is rendered stationary or knocked down during it's activation, does it immediately end?

For example, if a model triggers a Drakhun's countercharge and the mount crits for a knockdown effect. Does the advancing model's activation immediately end?

And if it doesn't, can warjacks and warbeasts immediately spend focus/fury to shake the effects?

Beasts and Jacks can only shake during maintenance. So they can't spend focus. You also shake at the start of your activation so you can't give up your action "late" to get back up.

I don't think you activation ends, but a Knocked down model can't make any attacks, with one exception, the Blackhide Wrastler.

It doesn't immediately end, but except a very few special rules the knocked down model won't be able to do anything anyway.

No, spending focus/forcing to shake effects is done in the control phase of the turn, before you activate any models.

They shake during CONTROL, not maintenance. Big difference. The timing matters.

Also, at the start of a model's activation, it forfeits action or movement to stand up. It does not shake the effect (which is a specific effect where a jack/caster/warlock spends focus or fury and a warbeast forces to remove the effect). Also, if stationary, you do not get an activation. It is worse than knock down.

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering how this all works since I'm using a Drakhun for bodyguard duty. Maybe I'll lucky with the countercharge knockdown and just say no to that warpwolf stalker that makes an assassination run at my caster.
