The name is just so silly. Our badass Guardsmen who fight overwhelming odd's are now called "Astramen"? Sounds like some early 90's anime.
No, they are called Militarum Men!

They're still called Imperial Guard in the book, I'll still call them Imperial Guard, and it's a bunch of letters that don't affect how the army plays on the tabletop. Meh.

I'd be REAL pissed if the new IG codex didnt contain the rules for Stormtroopers anymore and the closest thing a regular IG player would get to use his old Kasrkin models would be IG Veterans.
Like...REAL pissed.
But, the Stormies getting their own book and, given GW's greed, I wouldnt be too surprised.

It definitely fits the fluff of High Gothic naming in the Empire, so I like it. Realistically, it'll always be Imperial Guard, just like Space Marines are Space Marines. No one calls them Adeptus whatever but it's cool overall.

My opinion is mixed. As an official name (like Adeptus Astartes for Space Marines) it cool. But I prefer the common name - Imperial Guard, and I'd prefer to see it in codices and titles.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
