Why when you construct a harlequin close combat vehicle does it use
the stats for a regular guardian WS 3 instead of a harle WS 5 ?

Secondly, Magnua-Ra's shuriken cannon is listed as an assault 3
weapon instead of heavy 3, is this correct?
 
To the best of my knowledge, VDR rules do not allow
Eldar vehicles to have a WP of 5. It would be nice,
but nothing can be done to increase it beyond 3 as far
as I know.
I want to setup the rules for using the old Armorcast
Towering Destroyer Knight Titan, which had a WP of 5
under Inquisitor rules (an independent publication in
case you don't recognize it).

Show me where it says Harlequin vehicles get WS5 instead of 3, and I'll put
it in. Remember that you'd need to increase the cost of CC weapons if you
increase their WS.

Very unlikely, I'll take a look.

I am just going off the crew men for a vehicle. Currently it is an
eldar crewmen, but why would they be in a harlequin army? The
crewmen for a harlequin vehicle should be a harlequin who's basic WS
is 5. I realize it would cost more points but it would fit in better
with the army versus just a regular eldar guardian.

I have been writing GW rulesboys for clarification,
but as of yet, ALL Eldar vehicles will be designed
using standard Guardian stats. I've been curious of
this myself.
It's rumored that GW will be releasing another update
on VDR just like they did for Nids.
This one is supposedly another expansion with more
weapons and options.
But its only rumor for now.

Besides, from a fluff point of view. The Harlequins
would not suffer themselves to pilot a vehicle
considering their own abilities. For an example look
at the BS for the Venom. It is only a 3.
