Subject: Astra Militarum name change - what is your opinion?

At least that sounds semi decent and makes sense.
Codex Space Marines was released before the decision to make the main Imperial codices High Gothic.

When they remake Space Marines for 7th, they will most likely use the High Gothic name.
I prefer Adeptus Astartes over Space Marines, actually.
