My query is somewhat grown out of this thread, regarding Companion activations and immediate activations.
My understanding of Companion activations is that they are simultaneous, i.e. happening at the same time. All the models in the Companion group activate together, then the player chooses which order to resolve those activations. This is important for models like the Guild Hounds - if one Hound moves away, the other still gains the benefits of activating within range of another Hound, because their activations started simultaneously but are resolved sequentially.
Towards the end of the linked thread, there was a discussion on when Lord Chompy Bits would activate if he was unburied by the Dreamer's death in the middle of the opponent's Companion chain. The dominant theory seemed to be that Chompy would activate, then the opponent's chain would finish.
My contention is that all the models in the Companion chain are already activated (simultaneously!) at the beginning of the chain, and that all their activations must therefore be resolved before Chompy can activate (since he cannot be activated during other models' activations).
I'd appreciate whatever thoughts and clarifications everyone has to offer.
