I recently bought 4 Dark Reapers and an Exarch and dont know how I should kit them out.
My friends and I play low point Kill Teams type games (without unit restrictions). We also sometimes play up to 6 player free-for-all games so they'll have to be versatile.
Friends are bringing:
Dark Angels, Tyranids, Tau, Daemons, GK and CSM
Dont know their lists but I know the Daemon players bringing a Bloodthirster and the Nids are going to swarm.

Well... Kill Team Dark Reapers will be rather difficult, as they are a bit of a points dump. That in mind, I field them in sets of 5 and give them all Starshot Missiles. I also Upgrade one to Exarch and give him fast shot. This load out gives me effective field coverage with anti MEQ and AT for 210 points.

FYI, Dark Reapers aren't a legal choice in kill teams (being Heavy Support).

Like I said we play without unit restrictions, also I guess the more correct question to ask is how to kit my Exarch

There are 2 ways that are good for exarch,

1) starshot and fast shot and stick him on a Icarus lascannon to double tap that interceptor

2) Tempest launcher and crack shot for 2 S4 Ap3 ignore jink re roll to wound makes good for killing gun lines, or bikes.

Which ever you find you play more with, though you can just use a normal reaper launcher and proxy it as a tempest when you want, shouldn't be an issue.

Why spend the points for S: 8 AP: 3 if you're also giving him a lascannon? Seems kinda redundant...

Crack shot doesn't exist anymore. The exarch powers he can take are night vision, fast shot, and a power that allows to him to get precision shots on 5's and 6's.
