One approach to adding standard chess Bishops to a hex-tiled board is to shade the board in a 'candy-striped' pattern - for example, with rows of edge-linked spaces (or 'edgelines') in the 10-4 o'clock direction shaded light-dark-light-etc. A standard chess bishop is equivalent to a piece sliding along the one-color edgeline or riding the one-color Glinski diagonal and two bishops cover the board (the matching version of the standard rook moves along the two-color edgelines).
