Link to the guide
I'm hosting the guide here:

https://shazbot.github.io/Warhammer-Mods

It's short and sweet, and I consider the steps written there to be crucial to anyone trying to write scripts in WH2. Just having static code checking is going to save you from immense pain and save you time.

Other resources
A lot of the guides here on Steam are unfortunately very outdated, so be vary of that.

You'll find up-to-date tutorials and the CA scripting reference here:

Use the Rusted Pack File Manager, don't use the old Pack File Manager.
