Your clay walls are 8 mm thick. That means that they will have visual impact in how the board will feel when you've laid down an entire quest worth of rooms, with doors and walls. It may look good for a single room or part of a corridor, but when you build up an entire board with them, they might still be too dominant with respect to the room sizes, furniture and miniatures, based on the tile size you're going to use. Especially the hallways might be an issue. If you place your walls like shown in the picture above, each hallway tile will be reduced by 4 mm in its width, due the wall extending over it. For the single tile hallways, that's even an 8 mm reduction due to having a wall on both sides. With a 30 mm hallway tile, you're effectively down to 22 mm to place stuff, when you place those walls. That's barely enough (or actually, not enough) to place a miniature, or a tile like a blockade or pittrap or such. You're likely to be struggling for space in such tight areas - and if your walls aren't fixed to the board (with pinholes or something?), then you will inevitably end up with walls getting pushed out of position all the time, as people are trying to move their miniatures around. Using 35 mm as tile base would ease up on that part, but it's likely to still be a tight fit in some spots.
