I intend to get a third Egyptian army later this year. Let's see how Bast inspires them.

Brilliant,

My 'alternatively creative' alter ego (the one who puts mongols on motorbikes) could have lots of productive output with the concept of the kitten and an Egyptian Army  :D

The most obvious is unit and army standards with images of the 'Devine Kitten' on them.

Maybe a holy shrine or camp centrepiece arround a nice model of the 'Devine Kitten' - repainted model of the classic egyptian cat statue.

You've done that one.  :P
Do you not remember where the name Mad Lemmey came from, and his cat Ernst?

Ah Yes....

Didn't they sweep down from Nubia to seize the whole of Egypt while everyone was looking the other way?  ;D

They did indeed! I blame the Pharoh who declared a holy war, and got one!
Still laugh at the memories of those campaign reports! :D
