Having just shot over to Element Games and costed things up, you could be up and running at about £65.
What you need is the A5 rulebook, which is about £8-9, a Fatedeck costing you about £6, a Crewbox from one of the factions which are not to far off £30 for a playable force, and maybe a box or two of additional models which are rarely over £12. One thing you will want to pick up or create is a set each of spare 30mm, 40mm and 50mm bases. Malifaux uses a fair amount of tokens, either for in game effects, but more importantly Objectives, so having some spare bases to use would never be a bad thing. There are many companies such as Bendy Boards, which create sets of counters which look nicer and might save you some money. Finally you will just want something to represent you Soulstones during the game, which could be Gems, Scraps of Paper, or Gummy Bears.
You will find in the box with any models you purchase is a pack of stat cards and some upgrade cards, These contain all the rules for each of you models, so there is no Codex to buy as such. You might want to get a set of card sleeves just to protect them, particularly if you fancy using a dry erase pen, to mark wounds on the cards, rather than by another way.
What you will not have though by buying the A5 rulebook over the more expensive full size book, and any expansion books, is model stat other than those that come with your models, and also the generic upgrade cards for your chosen faction. So what you might want to consider is purchasing the Arsenal Packs. These will contain plenty of stat cards for you to look through, when considering future purchases.
Finally something thats of use, but not necessary in anyway is the Schemes and Strategies Pack. Neither player needs to have one for the game to be played, but one player having one makes game set up a little easier, and both players having one makes monitoring the games win conditions even easier.
