It's a commander of a Titan Legio Skitarii force, not sure if they are actually any different but the artist was basing it on a description of The Legio Invicta Skitarii from the book "Titanicus"
"The Invicta Skitarii, a throwback to more savage times, were fearsome beasts, striped and extravagantly marked, their armour built for threat, their genes selected for bulk. Muscular arms gleamed in the odd light. Heavy boots thumped in marching unison. Weapon limbs snapped up to salute as one. Feather plumes, ivory ornaments, leopardskin capes, modified fangs. The skitarii roared at the sky like predators, as fearsome and bestial as the Space Wolves."
Aren't the Skitarii supposed to be more techno-monkey-ish? Instead of native-american space marine-ish?
