Trying to make a list without the seercouncil/serp spam/wraithknight cheese. All theoretical - I don't own any eldar. Play against them enough though to know everything I've included is as annoying as hell. Never played against reaper Autarchs though - they just seemed to fit with the list.

Anti-troop: Everything barring the CH.
AT (Av 13 and less): Reapers, prisms, CH, warpspiders, support batteries.
AT (Av14): Prisms, CH.
AA: CH, warpspiders, Dark reapers (at a push).
Anti MC: Prisms, warp spiders, Dark reapers, CH.

Jet bikes for easy OS scoring.

What do you think considering the typical cheese is absent?

49 3+ models, 8 of which are in an av14 bunker. 3 tanks with a 4+ cover. 24 T7 wounds. And a flyer. Not as tough as a super magic 'right right, left left, up, down, A, B, up' now im invulnerable serp shield, but not a flimsy force either.
Also got a lot of speed with the spiders, CH and jetbikes...

Well, I'd drop one Autarch for a Jetseer and mount the other Autarch on a jetbike for better mobility.
Not sure how this army plays. How about Warwalkers?

I don't have my books with me at the moment, but a few questions come to mind:

-Dark Reapers. Did you pay for the Starshot upgrade? I'm assuming you did as you indicate they play an anti tank role.
-How many models can actually fire out of a bunker? I normally use a Firestorm Redoubt which works well for my Dark Reaper unit.
-Not quite sure what your 2 Autarchs are really adding to the army. I can see the anti infantry aspect, but this may be cleared up depending on how many models may fire out of a bunker.
-Fire Prisms are very terrain dependent choices, in my opinion. You really don't want to ever jink with them, but if you have sufficient ruins to provide 25% obscured and still be able to draw LOS, I can see some utility.
-Warp Spiders are a good choice.
-Crimson Hunters have been very hit or miss with me. It's a lot of points that if your opponent has anti air, the vehicle is generally lost.
-I am uncertain if he Autarch's +1/-1 to reserve rolls stack. If they stack, this could work very well with the Jetbikes as you would want them to come onto the table late game if possible (although this is very mission dependent).

Yeh it was the HQ I was most unsure on. I couldn't say 'no psykers' with a jetseer though :-p. How about fusion guns and on a jet bike?
I really like alwar walkers but 3 with BLs cost 210pts compared to a prisms 140 with holofields, worth considering though.
Ah no - good catch. I totally missed the 8pt upgrade to starshot. That reduces their utility somewhat.
8 can fire out of a bunker.
We always use lots of terrain so it wouldn't be an issue in my meta. Maybe in others though.
Crimson Hunter is there for reliable AA. Could swap it out though. More spiders instead? They are reliable AA with their insane amount of st7 shots against vehicles.
Not sure about the Autrach's abilities stacking either. Jetbikes in reserve is a good shout.

How about one Autrach drops his reaper launcher and instead takes a fusion gun.
I drop a prism, the crimson hunter, the other autrach and both remaining shuriken cannons on the jet bike units and instead take, 3 warwalkers with 2 BLs each, and an Avatar with fast shot and monster hunter? Gives some counter assault too and an increase in anti-mc and AT for a loss in AA.

Eight.
Four out of each of the two Fire Points.
