War Pig Tome trigger and Obey

[Chris Rivers]

What happens when the tome trigger is used on an attack generated by an obey action before the model has been activated for the turn?

 

The trigger says this:

 

Grab On:  after damaging, target gains slow condition.  End this model's activation.

 

Does this stop the War Pig from activating normally later in the turn, or just from doing more actions generated from the obey (ie a 2nd attack on from a charge action)?

I would read it as not but it ends the models current activation which could matter because a warpig can charge as a 1 action.

So if you obey and do a 1 action charge you then generate 2 attack but if you use the tome trigger your activation of him ends so you might only get 1 attack but the models turn is safe.

OK thanks!  That is how I would read it also.  Bad thing about the War Pig is that is has to declare the trigger if it can.  Thinking about shenanigans with Zoraida.

Nothing happens. It isn't this model's activation, so it cannot end. No further effects are specified, so there aren't any. The pig can activate normally.

As Dirial says, it is not the pigs activation, but maybe should end the controllers activation.

Not sure if "this model" is a reference to the pig, or the controller of the action.

"this model" is in reference to the pig, as the Grab On trigger is the tome trigger on it's 1 action melee attack.

It's not the pigs activation.
