During the Heresy there were only the 20 original chapters, called
legions due to theri size. They were divided after the ascension of
the Emperor to the Golden Throne.

AFAIK the loyal chapters involved were the Imperial Fists (working
also as a bodyguard of the Emperor), White Scars, and Iron Hands
(operating the Heavy weapons on the Bastions). I remember that there
was also a Chapter who arrived late and took the Chaos forces from
behind, as like as the Space Wolves did when the Fang was besieged,
but I'm not sure...
