Techmarine + The Flesh is Weak...

By cptcaine2, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

So The Flesh is Weak talent gives Techmarines the Machine Trait, which gives an Armor Point of 1 (+1 each time TFiW is taken). Does this AP from the Machine Trait stack with the AP from the techmarine's power armor?

Thanks,

Dan.

I would say yes, because one can assume that the tech marine almost never takes of his armour

It would be almost pointless to take any rank above The Flesh is Weak 1 if the figures didn't stack, so I would also say yes.

It's good to be the tech-priest.

almost it s not never; they stil all have biological issues. does their unused boilogical masses are trsnform in enregies or water like duen fremn cloth or like the tech priest?

It would either add to their AP OR it would add to their Toughness Bonus. Either way, it reduces damage.

Add to their AP, since actual cybernetic limbs already provide a +2 to that locations TB; after Unnatural is applied. This is why it's also good to be a Tech-Priest/Explorator in DH and RT . Though, they aren't going to get quite as high with their total AP.

Armor from the Machine Trait stacks with worn armor.
