Four scholars at Oxford were making their way down the street, and happened to see a group of ladies of the evening. “What’s this?” said the first. “A jam of tarts?” “Nay,” said the second, “an essay of Trollope’s.” “Rather, a flourish of strumpets,” advanced the third. “No, gentlemen,” concluded the last. “Here we have an anthology of pros.” |

The "Ciaphas Cain" series is the one you're thinking of. They're pretty funny and pulpy. Get the omnibus if you can; it has the first three books and some short stories.
All in all, the Ciaphas Cain books are a lot of fun. They get old after a while though; I read 4 of them and haven't worked up the appetite to read the 5th.

Try and find the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer. It's like a mock handbook for Imperial Guardsmen, and it's often referred to by them as toilet paper (and used as such). It's a nice bit of self-mockery in the otherwise serious GRIMDARK setting.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

I love it how they compare a rail guns strength to be the equal of a lasgun. Or how orks are scared by loud noises, such as you shouting.

"There is one rule to employ when fighting the tyranid:shoot the big ones."
"Remember - SHOOT THE BIG ONES."
I think I'm reading the old version because it only mentions Orks, Eldar, Tyranids and Chaos.

I personal found that reading a codex and the efforts to balance it whilst writing rules in clear precise English to be quite amusing.

2014 will be the year of zero GW purchases. Kneadite instead of GS, no paints or models. 2014 will be the year I finally make the move to military models and away from miniature games. |
