Explain this heretical Iron Hand fighting those valiant Skitarii, now.

I'm legitimately curious about this. Why would an Iron Hand fight Skitarii?

Tech Heresy i bet.

well it seems as if they're being controlled by something, based on the glowing yellow eyes

The local mechanacus found some heretical tech, and don't want to melt it down. The iron hand was part of a squad sent to help secure the exscitavtion site as a favor. When the iron hands tried to enforce the destruction of the heretech, the skittari stepped in.

That is a possibility, which may be corroborated by the apparent warp fuckery in the backgroung, but the OP did propose the Iron hand was the Heretek here, and there are a few art sources that show their eyes glowing normally (though in those pics they generally glow blue).

Could just be the local Forge Worlds colors having yellow electronics, compared to how different SM chapters have different eyepiece colors.

Skitarii can do no wrong.

In this story

A Deathwatch team was sent to deal with an Admech group that kidnapped a C'tan shard from the Necrons and started worshipping it.

Forget to mention that the Deathwatch leader was an Iron Hand.

A training exercise the Skitarii are obviously lacking skills in.
