You might not remember this game, but the Red Waaarrgghhh! expansion introduces the Astra Militarum. Their unit upgrades come with hilarious descriptions, something the Space Wolves don't have.

Some examples (not word-by-word):

+ Frag rounds (damages all models in the unit): NOT TO BE USED FOR TARGET PRACTICE!

+ Augmented limbs (increase movement): Shooting yourself in the leg is no excuse for skipping physical training. You have been warned.

+ Carapace armor (increase armor): Guardsmen are known to sell their organs for extra steel to protect themselves.

+ AP round (increase armor penetration): These rounds are implied to be from M52 and sent back in time via Warp travel.

I found these to be very funny. They feel natural, yet fit into the setting very well and, most importantly, do not make fun of the Astra Militarum's competence.

Even better when you put these upgrades to use and laugh as the Orks stand no chance.
