    Guardian Jetbikes x3 (These stay in reserves and come on to contest or capture an objective towards the end of the game.
    Rangers x5 w/ Pathfinders (Sit on an objective and pick off flamer templates and other things coming for my objective and are fortuned with their 2+ cover save)

    Looks like a bad list. Eldrad is on foot he will die in no time. 3 prisms is overkill leave the tank killing to the council. you need things that can dish out fire or kill stuff that tarpits your council unit. see below:

    Stick with council but cut down some powers.
    Stick eldrad in wave with some banshees,

    a unit of 6 dragons in wave
    2x units of dire avengers in wave w bladestorm and your golden.

    put stones on all your waves

    Embolden x2 doesn't stack
    Rnhance x2 doesn't stack

    That farseer jetbike council will get mowed down due to too many points all in one place. Do Farseer an warlock x5 max and do all destructor because if your doin it right you shouldn't need any of the other powers.

    3x Jetbikes is a bad idea, they aren't invincible and a 3 squad will get popped real fast. You have to take your reserves roll each turn so don't back on them coming at the end of the game.

    As drummer said you'll need to get so varity in there. Put Eldrad with banshees in a Serpent or with Avengers w/ bladestorm in a serpent.

    Rangers are nice, but you can't bank on having cover to use at objectives and if they get CCed you in a pickle. Use them with a bit more tactic in mind.

    Eldrad does not work in this list.

    I disagree with BlueDagger on every point except for putting Eldrad in a WS if you keep him.

    The jetbike council is a lot of points but it is one of the most survivable units in 40k. It is a good idea to take multiple emboldens, warlocks die and it is only 5 points and allows rerolls on all LD tests including farseer powers. With embolden, runes of witnessing are not required but runes of warding should be taken if you drop Eldrad. You current list doesn't have alot of synergy with doom, I would suggest droping it and the spirit stones. One enchance is fine.

    With the points from Eldrad and the cheaper farseer pick up a fire dragon squad in a wave serpent.

    The 3 man bike unit is good. Turbo boost every turn and make sure they can make it to the objective when it is time. I ran 4 of these squads in the ard boyz and was very happy with their performance (I finished in the top three).

    Three fire prisims are not overkill. They are excellent tanks and only get better in multiples.

    The pathfinders are meh. They have some good match ups and some bad match ups. Take them if you like them.
