Basically the Lhamean's Mistress of poisons rule says it affects both the close combat and ranged weapos of both her and her Archon.

So: If I take a Lhamean and an Archon with a power weapon does this mean his power weapon is poisoned 2+?

Also: If I take Lady Malys ('for every Archon in your army including Lady Malys and Asrubdael Vect you may take an Archon retinue')
This would imply that A: Lady Malys counts as an Archon so therefore the Lhameans mistress of posions would affect her making all of her attacks poisoned 2+

So, can I do this?

No, because neither the Archon's power weapon nor Lady Lalys' Lady's Blade is a poisoned weapon.

The Lhamean"s rule only works on poisoned weapons, it doesn't turn a non-poisoned weapon into one.

To clarify, the olny weapon that an archon can have that will be affected by the MoP rule is the splinter pistol. The venom blade is already 2+ and there is nothing else that is poison...

If they made the agoniser poison then OMG!

That said, for the price of the Lhamaean you are getting a dark eldar warrior with a free venom blade and 2+ poison splinter pistol - not to mention the LD boost. She is almost a sybarite at a fraction of the cost.

I see the court as a buffing suite and bullet stop for the archon riding with them, much like the old Daemonhunters/Witchhunters retinues travelling with an Inquisitor.

They provide some buffs and make an interestingly diverse unit to support the Archon. Individually, they are a bit meh, but as a unit they can be fun

Right so it only affects the splinter pistol, man, i was thinking how OP that was
