I am trying this list to try to beat this unbeatable necron list, its amazing and must fall to the power of dark angels.
Thank you for the suggestions

What is the necron list like?

Its 3 annihilation barges
2 squads of 5 warriors
illuminor szeras

500 points exactly

You'll have to say what is in the opposing list. First thoughts though:

Power field generator is an awesome piece of kit: you might want to consider it to keep scouts alive longer/ help protect vehicles vs gauss weapons. I'd consider dropping mastery level 2 off the librarian for it, and taking prescience as his one skill.

Why scouts over tac marines? If you are taking them with sniper rifles to counter some high T opponents then maybe ok.... but tac squads are much more durable and more reliable with their better BS.

Do you really need 2 predators at 500 points? Especially against necrons, where basic gauss weaponry can take them out.

I am only having the snipers so i can have rending

Ok I'd say power field or nothing on the librarian. Conversion field just doesn't compare in terms of what it brings to your army.

Why that set up with the preds? If you are shooting armour them the HB's are pretty useless, if you are shooting infantry then the lascannon is a waste of points. I read a post somewhere on dakka that if you are splitting weapon types on a pred, then autocannon & 2 sponsor lascannons would be the best value for points. It comes in at 5 points less than the setup you have there.

If you are dead set on using the two preds, then I'd go:
Hq
Librarian w/ PFG
=95 points

Troops
5 man tactical w/lascannon
5 man tactical w/ plasmacannon/missile launcher/ HB & melta bombs
=175 points

Heavy Support
predator with autocannon & lascannon sponsons
predator with autocannon & lascannon sponsons
=230 points

Okay ill try that thanx

You got any assault marines? If so use your DA as counts as raven guard.
Lib with jp, 2x10man assault squad with melta bombs and 1 ccw + bolt pistol or shogun 5man scout squad with melta bombs would rip his unbeatable list apart. They will be assaulting him turn 2 due to CT. And even the average 14 st7 hits from his barges wont stop you as itll on average take 4 assault marines down.
Although admittedly his list is a solid 'take all comers' list where as that list is designed just to beat him. But its definitely not unbeatable.
