Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

In the Horus Heresy novels, there are Luna Wolves who basically because of Horus’s awesome gene seed become mini horuses, looking exactly like him but astartes sized. Does this still occur in the black legion?

The gene seed is still around, so I'd guess so. A common feature of the gene seeds is that a lot of astartes takes on the visual traits of their primarch. You see this mentioned a lot with some other legions, like for example the blood angels having faces resembling Sanginius.

But a lot of the traitor space marines resent Horus for failing during the heresy, so guess it isn't brought up much.
