Being colorized really helps bring out that some of the paints used were metallics, especially around the inner cylinders.

I'm definitely leaning 40k. It looks mechanical. It's design may be something fancy for Eldar or it could be some sort of Inquisition for Imperium.

But guys... I'm starting to think we might actually see some new Imperium stuff. The eagle, the aquila lander core, and now this...? Something Inquisition related.

It looks like something from a Sisters or Inquisition gun. The design definitely looks like something from the Sisters line.

Beyond that, it could be something from an Empire Gunner.

It's a vaguely gold colour so I'll say Stormcast or Custodes

Thats a recolor by some one.

id say its an inquisitor. or out of the blue a sisters of battle.

The decorative lines do look a lot like those found on some of the Custodes armour.

I'm buggered if i can remember which one, but I'm sure the design of the filigree strongly echoes a Slaaneshi themed kit I've worked on, I thought it may have been the Hellstriders but looking at the pics on GW.com it probably isn't. There's a lot of elements that use those design cues though, so, deliberately or no, I don't think they've given us enough to work with on this one.

Somebody on the FB mentioned it looks similar to the filigree on the rubric marines.

It also looks really close to the filigree seen on Skitarii units. Those ornate rifles and everything. I don't think the filigree looks that 'chaosy' though.

The filigree on GW models is always very specific. The tzeentch stuff all has a subtle flame motif so it is not that. Elf Eldar and Slaanesh stuff is less symmetrical.
The admech stuff is a little sharper and more angular. It looks most like sisters but looking through the range on the GW site, nothing matches exactly.
This makes me think it is either reimagined sisters or an all new faction.

By the way old rumour pic is definitely not kharadron. I have checked all the sprues and it does not match.
I think this is probably ork mek stuff.

Sister Superior power maul?

Arbites power maul?

Rough rider lance?

At first I would have liked to believe it might be the backward leg or arm joint of an updated Crusader robot, what Forge world calls a Vorax now, but I don't see that kind of filigree detail anywhere else in the Adeptus Mechanicus line.

It doesn't look like anything in the Militarum line either, unless it's a brand new regiment and anything Eldar would use more rune-like designs.

The only place I see a design like this is in the Forge World Emperor's Children stuff, particularly on Fulgrim and Eidolon. My guess now would be either Emporer's Children or Sisters.

Piston lance sounds like a good guess

Ah! That's it, the kit I was trying to think of is sat not six feet away and it's the Kakophoni. The Palatine Blades has some similar detail too. It's not overwhelming, but it is suggestive of the FW EC aesthetic. So, on that (sizeable) assumption, plastic Noise Marines?

Edit.
Hmmm...

The curves and filigree remind me a bit of the old Adeptus Titanicus models, but I guess it's too early for that (and the common wisdom seems to be they're moving to the boxy FW style titans for the new game anyway).

Kobold army confirmed?

I see what you did there.

Looking at the detail, part must be pretty damned diddy?

It has to be if it's going to be a regular-sized candle in 40k, which I think it is.

Inquisition or... dare I say... Sisters?

Yeah, looks like a really tiny part. It being 'in the wind' implies some sort of motion, but then all of the characters with capes have them fluttering dynamically, so it really means very little.

I'm leaning towards an AoS kit. Pair it up with that peacock feather and you have something that could very well be an Empire/Free People's character.

It could also imply Dark Angels or something Inquisition in 40k (Sisters of Battle?) but I really think it's going to be AoS. Besides Shadespire and Blightwar, AoS hasn't gotten a lot since 8th dropped, so I feel that they're going to be getting some attention soon.

Much to my chagrin. I always get frustrated when AoS takes up a month when I just want more 40k stuff.

What makes you say this? Seems more likely it's AoS. If it were 40k, I'd sooner ascribe it to Dark Angels than anyone else.

Looks pretty sisterly.

Gonna guess base decoration for Lion El’Jonson.

Tzeench?

Bottom of the bit oddly blob shaped - as if it's unfinished?

And I'm not sure if it's a handle or smoke down the bottom too?

Hard to believe an Englishman wouldn't recognize that!

How do indeed!

It's the shape of the thing, and that it seems to be pointing in the same direction as the flame.
