I'm working on a conversion, and I need a Latin phrase to put on the darn tank...

It's a Rhino/Whirlwind, and I play Scythes of the Emperor... if that helps you think of something.

It has a large, open panel that's just begging to be written on... I just can't seem to think of anything for the life of me.

Wow - some awesome suggestions from everyone - thanks!
My brain was pretty much tapped from work...I couldn't even think of anything to put into a translator... the only things I managed were "The pig tastes good with eggs"...and that was in French.

I can see your house from up here - hehe

There's just so many good suggestions... I may need to build a huge slab-sided rhino just to plaster all the great contributions on.
I've had alot of fun model-bashing this Whirlwind conversion (pics will be up tonight hopefully - haven't had access to a decent camera in a while). It's about 90% done... touching up paint, and making minor tweaks... it's a non-astartes pattern, to be sure... but seeing as I play Scythes of the Emperor, it fits... they kinda scavenge what they can to bolster their supplies.
I call it the "Eclipse Pattern Whirlwind" - which has a reason behind it... I'll show later.

Thanks for all the awesome feedback! I'll get this thing done soon, and at the very least get some late-stage WIPs up tonight.
Now...to decide on a phrase...

That's not funny and not good Latin grammar. I can see myself as a Centurion from Monty Python's Life of Brian, making you write it on the walls one hundred times until you get it correct.
