Thanks for posting the info @rastamann
It saves me money.
This lack of accurate information (wether intentional or not) is always a factor in preorders of any kind.
Killteam has always been a bit of ‘cheap’ game (lots of repackaged terrain and troops, practically no ‘new’ content) compared to WarCry which (IMHO) has been treated more like its own thing. The killteam packs however were decent value for money (a small squad + terrain).
Purely based on pictures on GW’s website it looks like the Killteam:Munitorum Hub is a combination of two terrain sets :
– Battlezone: Manufactorum – Munitorum Armoured Containers (32,50) : 3 containers, a bit of scatter

– Battlezone: Manufactorum – Conservators (25) : 1 container, 2 ‘machinery’ pieces and a bit of scatter

The map itself appears to be valued at roughly 15 pounds based on the Battlezone Manufactorum having two boards and may very well be one of them in that pack (30):

Now sold as 60 total value, which is technically a ‘saving’ but given that it is impossible to buy the board and given that it is the least interesting part of the package that is stretching the definition.
Descriptions of both terrain sets don’t match the one of the ‘hub’, which could be down to them going into as much detail (maybe an unboxing of all the sets is in order ?).
It is less a ‘they took stuff out’ and more a ‘combine two smaller sets’.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the two ‘new’ sets where a similar deal.
I must admit that it is very tricky to know what exact content is in these new sets based on the info provided by GW.
Add to this the re-packaging of the same sprues across multiple sets (the pipelines have appeared in the new ‘starter set’ as well as the ‘upgrade’ sets) and maximizing value for money without too many duplicates is tricky.
The worst part isn’t so much the cost, but the fact that the unreliable supply means you may not be able to get the ‘cheaper’ combo pack and could be ‘forced’ to buy the more expensive stuff. I suspect that like all of the Killteam stuff this will be ‘limited supply’
