Played my first few games of Necromunda this week, and...Wow. Comparing in the books and after seeing how they play on the tabletop, they tarred and feathered me in a skirmish, multiple times. Like, we're talking full wipe with only a couple casualties. I'm not experienced enough to say for sure, but are the GSC considered to be a bit too efficient to others? I can fully blame myself or my dice if that isnt the case, but my friends and I are curious if we should shelf them from the campaign we're starting.

Necromunda is best enjoyed as a campaign. I have never played a single game of skirmish, so can't comment on that. But in a campaign, starting with low wounds (champions have only 1W) and weak save (6+, but with some bonus protection against some traits) they should catch injuries easily.

From my experience, GSC are an army with a couple of powerful tricks, who do not scale well at all once you learn their shtick.

They get Infiltrate on their acolytes, which is amaaaaazing for close combat oriented dudes. but, their acolytes only have a single wound, and a gakky save, so once they start to die they tend to go down hard.
