Would be nice to get clarified if the Machine Trait armor stacks with normal armor.
And if Machine trait stacks with Armor Plating as well: On page 375 the Battle Servitor and Grapplehawk Servitor is both stated as having armor plating and machine (4). The Battle Servitor has Armor (Machine): All 6. The Grapplehawk has Armor (Machine): All 4.
The talent would be rather useless to buy up if the armor doesn't stack with worn armor.
This came up in one of the Rules Question subforum; here , titled "Machine Trait - Being a Cyborg?" . The Armor Plating trait seems to have been omitted from Rogue Trader , but per Dark Heresy (page 329) it increases "its Armor Points by 2 to all locations." The grapplehawk should be Armor 6 if it is Machine 4 and Armor Plated .
