Hey Ahuman55
Not entirely sure what the purpose of this list is or, if you even want criticism (the title doesn’t say much). Having said that, I can see a few issues with your list.
You would do better to focus your list either, fully mech, or fully infantry. With your current list, your 4 wave serpents and walkers strongly suggest mech, yet you are also running juicy infantry targets such as the dark reapers.

Not a bad choice. Although, Eldrad is cheaper and has more ultility.

Drop the Exarch—the unit will be able to do its job just fine, without this points sink.
-Wave Serpent w/ Bright Lances-135 pts
This Serpent is going to be a main target of your opponent and probably moving flat out in the first turn—thus the TL bright lances are a waste, instead use TL shuriken cannons on this serpent and think of upgrading your dire avengers serpents with the bright lances.

Your banshee squad is too few in numbers to make a real impact—if you’re going to run banshees, then make sure the squad is at least 8 strong. I would give the exarch an executioner so the squad can deal with higher toughness enemies.

Your troops aren’t bad although, your ranger squad is a little small, if you intend it to do anything other than contest an objective—a 66 point Guardian Jetbike squad might be better for this.

As mentioned above the wraithlord is going to be too slow moving for the rest of your list

The walkers are great but, I can't see Dark Reapers earning their worth in this list—you could leave them in but, the safer option would just be to remove them and run 2x fire prisms.
Hope this helps.

Edit:
Overall, I would drop the two seers for Eldrad, drop the reapers and wraithlord for 2 prisms and use your spare points to alter the weapons on your serpents and increase your banshees/rangers squad size
That list looks pretty good all-round. The only thing I would do is add spirit stones to your Wave Serpents to give them some extra survivability (you can drop 2 guardian Jetbikers to free up to 40 points you need).
