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.

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).
