It's Ferrus Manus (Primarch of the Iron Hands), fighting alongside with an Iron Warrior. The ironic part (pun intended) is that Perturabo (Primarch of the Iron Warriors) isn't there.
Hanada Hyou reposted this image on Twitter on a whim in 2016, remarking on its age in their gallery. (https://x.com/nebulastall/status/698480725465501696?). I think it's safe to say they are indeed the artist in this case, even if this link's version is of inferior quality to our current version.
I hope the original art was done ironically... Surely no one would do that seriously for the sake of "inclusion".

honestly? it is hard to tell nowadays
Honestly feels less like an honest attempt at making WH40K diverse and inclusive and more like a /pol/tard mocking the concept of such attempts. Kind of like a reverse Poe's Law.
I really don't know how to feel about this song. It really seems to be trying to ape what made Mesmerizer popular - something 32ki herself made a point of not doing - but on the other hand, what I've actually heard of candycookiechocolate sounds like a good song.
