Hi Norto, and thanks for the interest.
For what its worth, I believe that the Harlequins have the greatest synergy with the DE which do not have access to Aspect formations, though they can provide a potent strike force for the Biel Tan as well.

Harlequin Venom's at 25 for 1 or 2. Is that i can add 6 to a Harlequin troupe for 75 points?
Yup, in this version of the Harlies list most of the units including the Venoms have been downgraded so you get them in pairs for 25 points, and thus 6 for 75 points. This brings them into line with the E-UK stats for DE Venoms - with the additional Holofield that makes it a Harlequin unit

Also Harlequin Venoms are LV at 4+ armour and 5+ RF AV. Not sure which 1 to go with as it will make a big difference coming out of a Webway.
Good spot. The QRF is wrong; AV 5+ RA are the earlier stats. The data sheet is correct for this version and they should be LV 4+ (Holofield), which effectively gives them 3+. That said, I do like MrDiealot's suggestion of different Holofield stats for different unit types.

Also, can harlequins assault out of a Storm Serpent and load up and consolidate back in with the masters of the webway rule?
The short answer is YES, they can reuse the same gate. In this respect they work like Necrons (though the Necrons assault out of one gate and consolidate back into another). Using their transport does mean that a Harlequin formation can assault and disappear a long way from a gate - but SS are 'bullet magnets' for precisely this reason.
Note, the SS is not available to the DE which have a portable Web-gate in the E-UK version, which does prevent excesses
Finally, if you are trying out the Harlequins, please could you consider trying out both
the earlier Version 4.2.2 as well as the
latest version 4.2.3 and let me know which stats you prefer.
