Hey
Welcome to Dakka!
You'd be better off posting this in the 40k army lists section, you'll get a better response.

Welcome to Dakkadakka!
This might be a topic to bring to either the army list or tactics fora, but I'll give it a jab.  One thing I'd advise doing ASAP is reading the rules for posting lists - you can show final point values, but don't post the individual costs for upgrades and the like as it can get dakkadakka in a bit of hot water. Might want to edit your post.
Most of your current models are those deemed as non-competitive by most players. Swooping Hawks and Dark Reapers are considered overpriced compared to the alternatives available, but Pathfinders and Jetbikes can be very effective when paired with other units. Harlequins in particular are an excellent match to jetbikes because of their fast movement and ability to act as a counter-assault unit. Veil of Tears may also be used to give your bike or pathfinders mobile cover.
That said, I love using Reapers. They are excellent against marines and the Tempest Launcher option with crack/fast shot eats marines and hordes. I'll take them as a third heavy support unit and keep them close to a unit of pathfinders as a firebase. While not good in CC, they're better than the pathfinders and can turn the tide on deepstriking assaulters.

What harm can it do to find out? It's a question that left bruises down the centuries, even more than "It can't hurt if I only take one" and "It's all right if you only do it standing up." Terry Pratchett, Making Money
"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could." Susanna Clarke Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Devastating Dark Reaper

Welcome to Dakka, wrong forum and all that gibberish as had been said.
That being said, short piece of advice: Don't run that many Pathfinders, they are terrible enough as it is.
Enjoy your stay.
