After painting the last couple of cavern tiles that Nick printed for me, I thought I'd take the whole collection out of the box and see just how big of a tunnel system I could create. As you can see it is fairly substantial. I forgot how much of a puzzle these are to assemble without leaving any gaping holes without a finished edge.
They never go together the same way twice, but as of today they cover somewhere between half to two thirds of my gaming table. I still have 25 or so pieces left to paint. However being a quick case of drybrushing followed by a few random tufts representing alien plants/molds/mosses (presumably there are openings in the roof to let in sunlight pollen and seeds.
I still do not know what game system to use with these, but Nick said that they are nothing to print and was quite impressed with the above photos. So hopefully, one day I will be able to achieve my goal of having enough cave hexes to fill my entire table.

At first glance I thought you were going to tell us that your new hobby was collecting old honeycombs from bee hives.
This looks like awesome terrain! I'd love to play on it – you could do some great Necromunda or other skirmish scenarios. Searches or infiltrations or even a battle against the wild inhabitant of these tunnels.
@Neverness: lol!
@XarfaiEngel: Originally I had hoped to use these for 40K, but unfortuntely 25mm bases struggle to fit into the narrow passages. I did try to float the idea of play 40K or one of it's subsidiaries in 15-20mm scale as there are a wealth of options avaiable to do so as a literal fraction of the price, but that notion was flatly rejected.
My buddy Nick has never played anf of GW's games and I haven't now for more than a year, so that's probably not a good option at this point. We'll find something though...hopefully.
