If my Warjack makes a kill, and has leftover focus, can I declare another charge to target a new enemy in range or am I left dangling in the wind?

I think no, unless a model has special rules then movement is the first stage of its activation, followed by actions. I don't think you can then go back to movement. But then I'm new to it to so take that with a grain of salt

Motyak is right. Unless a special rule says otherwise, models in this game perform movements (Which a charge counts as) before actions.

Thats part of the game. If you end up with wasted focus its just one of the risks that needs to be weighed against what else you could do with that focus.

generally speaking now. you move, then you perform your action.

you'd need a special rule to do more.

For example, a handful of models have sidestep. its an integral part of the molik karn-pedo. he charges. kills something. sidestep kicks in, and he gets to move 2". make another attack. kill. another 2". and so on.
Kromac's beasties can also pull off something like this, thanks to his spell warpath. so long as something of his kills something, a model in his battlegroup can move 3". so you take your warpwolf stalker, and berzerk your way thtough half a squad, then let warpath kick in, and move 3", and repeat the carnage. it only works once though!
Another guy who can pull it off is epic Butcher, and Drago who can move an inch after they kill stuff.
Vlad3 can pull it off (kinda) thanks to his spell flashing blade. he casts that first thing, kills a bunch of stuff, he can then declare a charge, kill more stuff, and if his feat is up, he can sidestep, and repeat.

But generally speaking, outside of these specific scenarios and special rules, no. you cant charge. kill something. then charge again. sorry.
