M2E Starter Set Soulstone Values - Version 3.0

I'm often asked about the relative soulstone values of the different Malifaux crew 'Starter Boxes' and though the information is in the individual crew unboxing articles (that can be found here) I thought that putting it all in one place might be helpful. As the exact configuration of all the Malifaux 2nd Edition box sets isn't known until they're release is announced I've limited this to the Starter Sets who's contents have been confirmed.
Not all of the above crews are currently available...yet...

Each 'crew' box is listed by Faction and then Master and the sets name. The number after the name is in the following format (Total Model Value/Value with Cache increased to maximum/Value with maximum cache and most expensive upgrades) and this information is then given in more detail afterwards. This should give you both a quick guide and a detailed breakdown. Some crew boxes contain upgrades relating to associated models that aren't actually included in the box themselves so obviously their value isn't included in the calculations.

Editors Note - If you notice any errors then please let me know...

  1. Interesting to see how varied they are

  2. Not sure if my first post made it,

    I'd rid of having M2E in the master's title as it may cause minor confusion. If i read this correctly this whole list is for M2E and having it in the title is either redundant or confusing.

  3. How are you planning on handling dual factions? I haven't done the math to see if it changes anything. But mcmourning would take different upgrades to be guild.

    1. If you look at the McMourning entry I have just given two values to the upgrades bit.

      Delete
    2. Also I've now added a reference in each dual faction entry to their other faction as it seemed better than posting their info twice.

  4. As far as i know, the Latigo posse contains only 11SS of upgrades, so the full SS value with max soulstone is only 48, which is still awesome.

  5. From the Guild, all other than Perdita's box are correct.
    From the Neverborn: The Dreamer: 5+2+2; +2 on Coppelius ->11
    From the Outcasts: Von Schill: 2+1+1 the other upgrades would only fit to Hannah, who isn't in Hired Guns box
    From the Resurrectionists: Nico: 1+1+2; with Morty: 1+2 ->7 The problem isn't with the upgrades, the final total is correct, however the full SS, no upgrade sum is 37, not 36
    Seamus: 1+1+2; Sybelle: 1+1 ->6
    From the TT: Misaki is correct, but as McMourning has a resu upgrade for sebastian, Ototo can use his own upgrade only in TT, so it's final sum in Outcast is only 41
    That's the last of it, all other data are correct ;)
