Are skaven in 40k yet? Are they in this game?

[ExcelsiorBenevolence]

We haven't had a decent skaven game since mordheim and tww2 :(
I hate the lack of skaven in 40k, it makes the setting less wholesome.
There's just something ever so endearing, and enchanting about the way they act.

Haven't seen any vermin on the 3 campaign planets, maybe in operations but Im halfway through them and no sign of them, seems to just offer other perspectives on different parts of the campaign.

Unless i have missed something skaven do not exist in 40k

[RobeRonin]

they are not in this game and skaven are not currently cannon to 40 k however in past editions they had a couple of variations that where likened to the skaven ! the emporium had rattling snipers that where some form of human mutant that had rat features and was small . also on a random planet was a race of mice men that had become stuck and had there intellect destroyed by the planets living conditions and became feral almost rat men!

Ratmen do not exist

[Ringtailer.]

I mean I have this weird bug where the rats run on their hind legs(but no skaven are Age of Sigmar,the medieval fantasy spinoff not 40k)

[Garatgh Deloi]

Skaven aren't a thing in Warhammer 40k (They are a thing in Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar). There is also no indication that they are planning to add Skaven to Warhammer 40k.

[Naus]

They are not and won't be. This is different universum, like I don't know, Naruto and SpongeBob.

[El Macho]

Thats Warhammer Fantasy.. This is 40k, I dont think Skaven is an existing faction in 40k.

[「SHAORUNE」]

The Imperium of Men is the Skaven of the 40k universe

[Xafron Chi]

Skaven do not exist in 40k, only Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar which are separate from 40k.

The "evil but endearing" faction in 40k would be the Orks.

Ratlings still exists in 40k but ratlings are more like Hobbits than skaven, they are not actually rat people

There was once an idea to integrate the Skaven into the universe in the form of the Hrud. But it was rejected. Now the Hrud are something different.
