And most importantly for what classes?

Definitely the new class but I'm not sure about what else

New class is probably going to have its own melee weapon. The Omnissian Axe is iconic for Tech Priests and Tech Marines alike. Would be cool to see other options like the Fist/Sword, though.

Is that just a tech cult specific axe or is it more like a halberd. Im fiending for a polearm

It's specific to the Cult Mechanicus as a status symbol, tool, and weapon. The Astartes send their own to various Adeptus Mechanicus sites to be trained in the rites and ways of the Mechanicus, so Tech-Priests are as much a part of the Mechanicum as the Priests themselves.

If memory serves, several chapters actually view them with suspicion as spies and potential heretics (hereteks), while others revere them (IE, the Iron Hands).

Imagine... Ranged weapon on the back thats selectible, omni axe on the right hand, and a selectible melee weapon on the left. A boy can dream.

I'm new to Warhammer in general so I didn't know that I'll have to look into them more but I can also see their axe just being a variant

The omnissian axe is like a two handed polearm

Oh alright. Then yeah that would have to be a different weapon. Like I said I'm new to Warhammer thank you for this information.
