Has a Chapter made up of the ‘Dauntless Few’ ever been made?

Is it possible in the way of lore to make a Chapter comprising of those chapters that Guilliman trusts most of all?

Many thanks

Well the Dauntless Few are four different Legions - assuming we're talking about the same Dauntless Few. The only "Chapter" with Space Marines from different Legions is (theoretically) the Death Watch. The Grey Knights have a couple different origin theories/stories floating around but the multi-chapter theory for them is most definitely not the Dauntless Few but the Istvaan refugees - the Loyalists from the Traitor Legions - Garro, Loken and so on.

In theory you could make a Death Watch army/chapter/whatever you want to call it using just the heraldry of the Dauntless Few.

In theory you could make yourself a "Crusader Army" if you used just one codex for rules, and paint them all up as different chapters in a counts-as thing. i.e. as long as your Iron Hands Intercessors and your Space Wolves Intercessors only used the Ultramarine rules when taking orders from Calgar - making them Ultramarines in everything but paint scheme most people aren't going to care.

But you won't find many people who will let you have Calgar ordering around some Space Wolves special units, being assisted by the new Iron Hands special character, and supported by some White Scars bikers with White Scars Chapter tactics.

If you're talking pure fluff, and not on the tabletop, then no, they're highly unlikely to mix geneseed in a chapter. Technically even the Deathwatch Marines aren't in the Deathwatch chapter. They're just on a Temporary Duty station with the Deathwatch and will return to their home chapter sooner or later. If there's anything left of them to return.
