As noted, yes you need the trappings first, but a Scout doesn't need guns, so the most expensive items are the mail shirt and the horse. If your GM is so stingy that you can't afford to buy the trappings you need, the traditional WFRP method of acquiring them is to steal them or loot the corpses of your fallen foes.
