I was casually reading my rulebook I got in my shadow wars armageddon book when I came to the different marine groups and the skillsets they can take. The usual suspects were there, blood angels, space wolves, ect. But something stood out to me.

There was a chapter called the sons of guilliman where you would expect to see ultramarines. Now they have been iconic since forever, and I can't imagine they were left out accidentally, especially to be replaced for a white and blue checkered copy.

Mabye something happens to the ultramarines in 8th. Mabye they are re-made into these super marines rumors hinted about (what i feel is a cheap way for gw to get you to re-buy an army you already own)

Now there was another not big name chapter in there, so I could be jumping to conclusions, but it seems odd they would leave out THE iconic chapter.

The Sons of Guilliman are an established Ultramarines Successor Chapter. They had six companies on Armageddon - the Ultramarines weren't there in any great strength.

You're also making huge leaps to conclusions even if the Sons of Guilliman were not a chapter. Even if Ultramarines did rename(to anything), it would NOT mean any other changes unless those changes were explicitly stated.
