Something like, "For the glory of Dorn and the Emperor!" would have sufficed. Having said that, that warcry is very much like Dorn, so even though it is a bit daft it matches Dorn's personality pretty well.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I love the Dark Angels one - "Repent! For tomorrow you die!"
Although it would be a pretty situational warcry. Wouldn't necessarily work with shouting that at Tyranids or a blob of Gretchin.
it would also work with the fanatical space Spanish-Inqusition feel of the Dark Angels. By that I mean they persecute you and kill you for being different. It would actually be really cool as part of a much larger chant, led by a Chaplain.

Repent!
For tomorrow you die!
Rejoice!
For today you will be cleansed!
Request your absolution!
For now we will show no mercy!
If that were the Dark Angel battle cry that'd be incredible. Also, I based that chant off Scripture, "Repent, Rejoice, Request (absolution)" which really makes sense with the DA.
Very good! There is also more purpose/intent behind it rather than the commonly used 'For Glory, for the Emperor type of thing' (which I also use in my DakkaDakka signature)

I think it translates more as "Hail the Lord of the Night."
Ave= Hail as in Ave Maria is Hail Mary
Dominus= Lord/Master/Ruler
Nox= Night
It is a tribute to The Night Haunter.

 "Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

White Scars could be something like "The Hunt is relentless!", something more fitting for their culture.
