I was not making an excuse, I was simply replying to metalif... sorry cant remember his name, because he said I'm ovibously young and he was correct, and i'm not ignorant, I just dont take gak from anyone, sorry if it seems i' being rude, hard to explain, thanks anyway, trying to convince freind to buy my nurgles to start him off.

And Fafnir is right. At your age, mowing lawns in the summer and shovelling diveways and sidewalks in the winter is a good way to get cash (And keep in shape). Paper routes are good when you're looking for an early career that you can stick on your first resumé in a couple years, And you can always have a garage sale and get rid of any old stuff you don't need anymore as well.
Once you get your first real job, you'll find money a bit easier to come by, but at your age all of the above will work fine.
I'm not going to argue because you are right but this is not an excuse, I live in country so nobody else lives beside my, I mow my own grass for no cash, I want to sell my model cars but need to get permission from dad, I am in great shape and heading off to Scotland for British open(karate), I'm a brown belt, I go running 5 mile every day, ok.... so, I'm going to stop with my lifestory before you click out,
lol, i'm also going to follow metallifan's advice and set a goal to buy it with money or get a Christmas prezie as my birthday was June past.

When i first ever brought minis (40k) which was two years ago, i picked up a SM codex and the SW supplement. The SM codex has now been updated and the SW is just about to be updated too. And to think iv never used them yet either! I left my minis in their boxes for a year as i became too busy to bother, i then glued them and left them again for a while and im only just starting to paint. So them books are kind of wasted.
I do havea mini rulebook however, from the macragge box set, its very simple and covers all the basics. If you never played before, i suggest you go for that until you either a) have more money or b) master the basics and want to start playing additional rules.
As for a printed version, true you wont be allowed into a store to play with it, but if money is an issue you could just invite a friend over to your house and have(or used/damaged books?) a computer on nearby. Or buy a previous edition books as they go very cheap. Granted they are useless if you play anywhere other than with mates in a similiar situation but hey, its a solution.
YEH!! that was exact same as me, didn't reply because was at school, first day back all summer, this summer was flat out warhammer painting, and karate, using this site alot latly, thanks again to everyone that has replyed, much help, I no my route but If you still have a good idea just drop it on, thanks
