That book is pretty much all you need to play 3rd edition.

My teenager and his friends prefer that edition. I play it with them from time to time. You cab pick up the compatible codices on Ebay or find pdfs on the web if you want more than is in the book itself. Most of the models you'd want to play are still on sale. I'd say it was still perfectly viable.

I only really play skirmish-sized games so I need each model to play interestingly.

Always!

I'm moving house so I've recently organised and gathered all of my games workshop books together.

Heh, to be fair my mind still goes "oh look, the new 40k rulebook".
