Are you looking at the actual magazine? Most of us are dealing with low-quality scans, so it's not like we can make out much detail. What you're describing does sound daedric, but the whole guy looks brown in the scan I'm looking at.
I have the mag in my hands, and he looks Draugr to me, like the boss of a dungeon, so being the boss he is wearing this kickass armor
specially when the mag quotes "a sarcophagus in the middle of the room open, and a big, tough looking Draugr Overlord climbs out and attack", the screen is in the same page as that line, so maybe it's related
