Very strong for your meta, I'm sure there is a valid argument to drop a unit of Dragons for another unit of spiders since 3 seem to be a bit overkill but yeah, really solid. That said I feel that your main weaknesses will come in the form of Psychic powered deathstars, flyer spam and massive alpha strike lists.

Can't argue with any of that! Obviously the Autarch is necessary for reserve manipulation. Of the three you listed, flyer spam does concern me, probably in the form of tyranids/daemons. I run the crimson death often, love it, and agree it's probably a safe inclusion most of the time, I think this list has a clear "gimmick" in the cloudstrike being a notable "big" thing that will happen that I think a lot of people are not used to, so I'm willing to run it one weekend, despite the weaknesses it opens up. As far as Psychic Deathstars and true alpha lists, I consider them straight high end tournament builds that I don't worry about for fun weekend games at the LGS. If I were going to a GT or equivalent I would probably never run a list like this. I'd run a deathstar or alpha list myself, or the tried and true scat/knight/spider spam.
