After kicking around a bit with IA 11 I am close to settling on a list.

Here is my first go at the Pale Court

Eldar Craftworld Warhost

CORE:
Pale Court Battlehost Halls of Martial Splendor

Aspect-Lord Shrine
Swooping Hawks x 5 + Exarch
Swooping Hawks x 5 + Exarch
Swooping Hawks x 5 + Exarch

Autarch (Banshee Mask, 2 x Deathspinners, Swooping Hawk Wings)

Aspect Host
Dark Reapers x 4 + Exarch (Starshot for all)
Dark Reapers x 3 + Exarch (Starshot for all)
Warp Spiders x 4 + Exarch

Fist of Vaul
Warp Hunter with Holo-Fields and Ghostwalk Matrix x 2

Hornet Swarm
3 x Hornet with Dual Pulse Lasers

Wraith Constructs
Skathach Wraithknight (Deathshroud/Scattershield + Scatter Laser)

This gives me Ranged D with the Warp Hunters, Solid firebase with the Reapers, mobile firepower with the Hornets and Warp Spiders. Highly mobile objective grabbers with the Swooping Hawks AND lots of haywire. The Wraithknight can take on hordes easily and stomp in CC.

Thoughts?

Can I ask what a Pale Court Battlehost Halls of Martial Splendor is?

The Pale court is a new detachment from IA 11. The basic core detachment is
1 Farseer
3 Guardians squads
0-1 Warlock council.

You then pick two traits from a list which will slightl change your detachment. After that you pick auxilliary, commands as usual.

Aspect shrines lets me switch the 3 guardians squads to 3 Aspect squads as long as it is the same.
Halls of Martial splendor lets me replace the mandatory Farseer by an Autarch.

Thats really cool. I like the list a lot. I would however prefer more Spiders but I'm not sure where the points would come from.

Also, Hornets do much better if they are alone I find. They are harder to take down that way and can fire at separate targets whilst being separate for jinking. I'm no sure that would work though because of your detachment configuration.

Remember halls of martial splendour also gives your autarch rerolls to hit in challenges, may be worth tooling him up to fight; makes shard of anaris or laser lance pretty deadly.

Autarch on a jetbike with a laser lance and banshees mask can win games. Especially in a list with no other Jetbikes. They are so useful turn 5/6/7
