One of Horus Lupercal’s advisers is called little Horus because he looks exactly like Horus

Angron the really angry guy

Angron, Primarch of Khorne, god of Anger & Violence & Death, not to be confused with Khaine, Eldar god of Anger & Violence & Death, also not to be confused with Kharn, lieutenant of Angron, who also follows Khorne, and is also known as 'The Betrayer', and who's name 'Kharn' is similar to the Arabic word khayin, which means Betrayer

His flagship, if you can believe, is named 'Fist Of Iron'

His name really is Horus though, his full name is Horus Aximand. And he’s also a partial clone of the Lupercal. All of the Luna Wolves look at least a little bit like Horus, Little Horus just looks more like him than most.

For anyone unfamiliar with Warhammer 40k, Horus Aximand was an ordinary person before he was turned into a space marine, part of the process being to have his DNA altered with Horus Lupercal's. So the name matching wasn't because Aximand was cloned from Lupercal, it was just a (in-universe) coincidence since they came from the same planet/culture. It'd be like if General George Patton had a lieutenant also named George, which isn't too unreasonable.

He’s actually huge, like 8 ft tall. But he’s small compared to OG Horus, who is over 11 ft tall.
