What are they arming the venoms with? If it's poison, just don't get out of your tanks...

Venoms don't even have other weapon options (sadly) so it has to be poison. With a battle company, you should have more obsec than him and be able to hold objectives better since you're more durable than he is (higher armor values, more hull points, and dark eldar don't have much in the way of antitank to begin with). It should honestly be a fairly easy match. Keep razorbacks to heavy bolters and assault cannons and you can kill everything in his army.

Sorry, I should add the caveat that I'm still working on the Transports. Got a couple Drop Pods and a Razorback. May have a second razorback/ rhino ready for gameday.

Once you have the drop pods and razorbacks, the venoms wont do anything unless the marines are out.

Literally run Razorbacks w/ Assault cannons or Heavy bolters..and these are enough to supress venom fire too.

Even 1 lascannon, has a good chance of blowing up a venom if it doesn't jink. 5++ isnt the best save.

I think the real question is "how do you lose with battle company?"

Your free razorbacks should just rip right through them...

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Bolters? I've lost more Venoms to random Bolter fire than I have Multi-Melters.

Don't leave your vehicles, ever.
Anything with a toughness that you have will evaporate under the venoms, but they do literally nothing against vehicles
