Horus could have won had it not been for his hubris. The Emperor could have won the war without losing his body and control of the Imperium if he had decided to teleport on to The Pride of the Emperor, his flagship, with a contingent of Dorn and his fleet and Custodes and left Terra to retake it later and give time for the other legions to show up. Horus could have decided to make a new capital on another world, hell maybe Cthonia his homeworld, and just declare exterminatus on Terra. That is probably what I would have done if I was him.
