Do Barons automatically count as having any of the 3 squad-wide upgrades (Vea, haywire,tanglefield) if the unit they're assigned to has purchased it? For all intents and purposes, they're part of the unit when the game begins and cannot leave it, and furthermore aren't Independent Characters
I'm thinking specifically for Void Enhanced Armour, as he cannot actually buy it in his own listing. If he has access to the free VEA his squad buys, then he gets a 2++ rerollable against all blasts and templates. A finer 55 - 60pt tank you'll never find.
