about armatures, mmm their weird and dont understan them completly (i dont know if some body use them?)
in the tutorials you have to use nulls (i am use to LW) where you only need one,

I agree - there's not much out there as far as tutorials are concerned. I know that John Riggs is working on some new tutorial CD's. The older ones are still applicable though.

Have you checked out Joe Cosman's tutorial videos? It's some of the best information you can get on how to rig a character in messiah.

If cost is a concern, you may be able to find some used. I found some here at Postforum. Not sure if they're still available.

Also, check out MikeRB rig a character from start to finish in this thread:
