Scab units will create problems for you, especially in the beginning while you're still figuring things out. After you level up your hero and obtain more powerful weapons and items, these armored heretics will be much easier to kill. But even then, you'll always have to pay attention as they can be very dangerous, especially if there are more of them.

In your fights, besides Scabs, you'll encounter Dregs, another Chaos faction in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Although these enemies are similar to Scabs, they are much weaker because they wear no armor. Still, these Cultists are formidable opponents, often mixed with hordes of Pox walkers and giant monsters. Sounds tough? Well, suffering is the motto of the 41st-millennium endless war.
