Found a massive list of every chapter mentioned by GW. I'll put down as many as possible and chances are there'll be a few already mentioned.

A

Angels Encarmine
A Second Founding chapter of the Blood Angels. They participated in the effort to reclaim the Crimson Fists' homeworld from the Orks. Their power armour is painted red, with black trim and a black backpack. The Chapter symbol is a bat-winged drop of blood.

Angels Porphyr
The Angels Porphyr Chapter was founded in the 31st millennium. Their power armour is halved blue and white (with pad trims matching the pad). The Chapter symbol is the profile of a winged skull, and other skull icons are often incorporated into their armour. The Chapter participated in the Third War for Armageddon.
The Chapter appears almost identical to the 'Eagle Warriors' chapter, the only differences being the chapter badge (Eagle Warriors simply have a blue wing). This leads many to believe the Angels Porphyr and Eagle Warriors to be the same chapter.
According to Insigneum Astartes the Eagle Warriors denote company by the colour of the left kneepad, it would seem the Angels Porphyr denote company by the colour of the right kneepad.

Angels Sanguine
A Second Founding chapter of the Blood Angels. Their power armour is halved red and black. The Chapter's symbol is a winged skull. Librarian Ashok is a member of the Angels Sanguine chapter, and he wears the Shroud of Lemartes, to stave off the Red Thirst. He also is unique in the aspect that he is one of the few Space Marines to dislike his armor, and senses that its machine spirit is not fond of him either.

Angels Vermillion
A Second Founding chapter of the Blood Angels. The Chapter wears dark red power armour. The Chapter's symbol is a winged blood drop, with a small skull at the base of the drop.
Angels of Absolution
A Second Founding chapter of the Dark Angels. The power armour of the Angels of Absolution is painted bone-white, and the Chapter's symbol is a skull superimposed over a stylised wing.
Angels of Fire
A chapter founded during the 36th millennium. The Angels of Fire wear red power armour, decorated with stylised orange flames. They participated in the Third War for Armageddon.

Angels of Redemption
A Second Founding chapter of the Dark Angels. The Chapter's power armour is halved bone-white and dark green, and the Chapter's symbol is a winged skull.

Angels of Vengeance
A Second Founding chapter of the Dark Angels. The power armour worn by this chapter is black, and the Chapter's symbol is a white winged skull. An inverted red V rests over the skull (a hood).
Angels of Vigilance
The Angels of Vigilance wear yellow power armour (including trims) with a black chest eagle. The Chapter's symbol is a winged, flame-filled crucible.
It is suspected that the Chapter came into existence during the Second Founding, but it is unknown from which Legion their gene-seed originates.

Astral Claws
The Astral Claws were created during the 35th millennium to guard against the numerous threats emerging from the Maelstrom. The Chapter was led into Chaos by their traitorous Chapter Master Lufgt Huron (thereafter known as Huron Blackheart), igniting the Badab War. They currently form a group of rebel Marines known as the Red Corsairs, who ruthlessly attack supply lines in the name of Chaos. In the battle that pulled them into Chaos they nearly succeeded in pulling the Mantis Warriors with them. Since turning to Chaos, the rebel Chapter is known for having Marines that have felt the lure of Chaos from other chapters, such as the Crimson Fists, Dark Angels, etc, join them, either individually, or by squad.

Avenging Sons
A 19th Founding chapter from the world of Trækonnis Major. They wear navy blue power armour, and their symbol is a stylised white cross. A white diagonal stripe with a Roman numeral in the centre denotes the company. A strike force of Avenging Sons fought in the war on Taros.

B

Black Consuls
A Second Founding chapter of the Ultramarines. The Chapter's powered armour is black with trim in the company colour. The symbol of the Black Consuls is a white eagle's head.

Black Dragons
The Black Dragons were one of the Space Marine Chapters created during the Cursed 21st Founding. They are censured by the Inquisition due to mutation of the Chapter's gene-seed, which causes certain marines to develop blade-like outgrowths of bone on the head and forearms. Black Dragons afflicted in this way, sharpen these bone growths and sheath them in adamantium for use in close combat. They are then grouped together into specialist jump-pack equipped assault squads know as Dragon Claws.
The Black Dragons suffered heavily during the Third War for Armageddon and suspect Inquisition meddling, although this cannot be proven. Their losses have been so grievous that the Chapter itself is in danger of extinction. Nevertheless, the Chapter remains loyal to the Imperium, and is prepared to fight to the last man no matter the forces arrayed against them.
The Black Dragons wear black power armour, with white chest eagle and shoulder guard markings. Their chapter symbol is a white dragon on a black background, and dragons are often incorporated into their armour and weapons.

Black Guard
A Second Founding chapter of the Raven Guard.

Blood Drinkers
A Second Founding chapter of the Blood Angels. Unlike the other Blood Angels Successor Chapters, the Blood Drinkers are strict followers of the Codex Astartes. The Chapter participated in the effort to reclaim the Crimson Fists' homeworld from the Orks. The Chapter's armour is painted red, with yellow trim. The Chapter's symbol is a drop of blood above a grail.
The name "Blood Drinkers" comes from the Chapter's craving for blood, the result of a mutated omophagea gene-seed.

Brazen Claws
A Second Founding chapter of the Iron Hands. They participated in the defence against the Thirteenth Black Crusade. The Chapter's powered armour is painted in a quartered blue and red pattern. The Chapter's symbol is the depiction of red claws or talons.

Brotherhood of a Thousand
A later-founding chapter of unknown origin. The Brotherhood follow the Codex Astartes and are loyal to the Imperium of Man. Their armour is painted a bluish grey with the trim on the shoulder pads painted a different colour for each company. Their chapter symbol is a black "M" on a slightly undersized white circle, the M representing the number one thousand.

C

Celebrants
A Chapter founded during the 36th millennium. They participated in the Third War for Armageddon. Their armour starts with yellow lower legs then seamlessly blends to orange for the mid body and then red for the upper body/helmet/arms; the chapter badge is a winged five-pointed star.

Celestial Lions
The Celestial Lions were founded during the 38th millennium. Their armour is primarily gold, with blue shoulderpads and helmet. The chapter symbol is a roaring lion, and lion decorations are often incorporated into their armour. The Celestial Lions participated in the Third War for Armageddon, and were almost completely annihilated due to Inquistion treachery.

Children of Purgatos
A chapter that went excommunitcate, their primary color is emerald green highlighted with gold and they decorate their armor with images of flames. Chapter badge is currently unknown.

D

Damned Company of Lord Caustos
A group of Space Marines that turned to the Chaos gods after they were declared traitor by an Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, based on some flimsy and circumstantial evidence. They only turned to chaos to survive in a galaxy hostile to them, they now live their lives as mercenaries.
Their armour is primarily grey/purple, with gold decoration. Their chapter's symbol is yet to be seen.

Dark Hands
A chapter that fought the Hrud at Chinchare. The Chapter's armour is painted dull green, and the Chapter symbol is of an outstretched black hand facing the viewer as if in a halt gesture. The gloves are also painted black. It is possible the Dark Hands are an Imperial Fists successor but that is merely speculation.

Death Spectres
The Death Spectres are a chapter of Space Marines that participated in the defence of the Cadian sector against the 13th Black Crusade. During the Black Crusade, the Death Spectres adopted a fluid style of combat, using jump pack equipped troops to quickly capitalise on any gains made by the Imperial Guard.
Their armour is black (including trim), with the exception of the left shoulderpad (white with black trim) and helmet and chest eagle (both bone). The chapter badge is a pair of black scythes located behind a skull.
All members of the Death Spectres are albinos.

Death Strike
Wearing light blue armour with a yellow winged lightning bolt as a chapter badge, the Death Strike Chapter participated in the Assault on Moros and acted as the rearguard during the Verdan II Extraction.

Destroyers
A Second Founding chapter of the White Scars. Their armour is acid yellow with a red chevron pattern down the arms. Their symbol is two crossed lightning bolts.

Doom Eagles
A peculiar, non-Codex Chapter, whose initiates are selected from the aspirants who survive particularly harrowing trials. At a basic level, all Doom Eagles accept that they are already dead. This is the root of their courage, their unshakeable determination to face the greatest odds. As such the men of this Chapter are almost impossible to deter, but they are dour, grim and depressive, albeit staunchly loyal to the Imperium.
Doom Eagles armour is primarily silver, with red decoration. The chapter's symbol is a stylised eagle, with a human skull replacing the eagle's head.
