Excellent!
My favourites are the corridor with the slime across it (looks like some kind of secreted resin) and the large hive chamber …which is … just awesome!
When it comes to colouring the ‘hived over’ sections I’d go with dark greens and a few bone coloured bits for contrast. What ever you go with I’d strongly suggest avoiding the bright neon colours of the Advanced Space Crusade organic tiles.
For technological bits the grey, grey/blue and browns of the 1 st edition SH tiles works well
I noticed that like SH you’ve gone with 1 square wide corridors, which makes for interesting tactical situations (bottle necking, ect) but tends to cause players to split their forces (after all who wants to be trapped at the back all game waiting for your friends to die so you can get into the action) 1-square corridors seem to be the norm for Sci-fi games and yet 2-square corridors are the standard in Fantasy games, strange no?
Coincidently, GW are about to release a super limited edition new version of SpaceHulk at an ultra special marked up price nearing £60 to celebrate (cash in on) it’s 20 th birthday. Hooray!
I’ll finish up with a picture I found of a game of SpaceCrusade Me and Mark played last year using my 1 st edition SpaceHulk tiles instead of the rather limited SpaceCrusade Board

I think as long as you don’t put imperial eagles and space-marine chapter signs all over them you’ll be fine
