Horizon Zero Dawn Board Game All-In Organizer

This organizer is for the Horizon Zero Dawn Boardgame by Steamforged Games. My gaming group enjoys this game, but I hate the space it takes on my shelves. 3rd party organizers only knock it down to 5-6 boxes, with the expansion bosses needing at least 2 and up to 5 inches of lid lift. This organizer will hold ALL of the original Horizon Zero Dawn Board Game All-In pledge in 3 boxes, with 2 inches of lid lift or less per box.

This organizer is optimized for storage, not play. This means that while Legendary Machines have their own box, everything else is designed to fit the most stuff in the least space. I did make hunter “kits” that keeps all cards and minis for each clan in a single box, so it's easier to decide what you want to play. I also added labels to card boxes so it's easier to find what you need But getting to any specific mini will probably require removing other minis.

That said, the upside is that a lot of minis have the same base size, so they can fit in multiple places in the box. The file names show what I put where, but with a few exceptions like Snapmaws and Stalkers (stupid long tails, grrr!), you can mix and match to your heart's content.

Please note that the Stormbird only fits disassembled, but all of the other legendary monsters fit fully assembled. It was the best I could do while maintaining at least a passing respect for the laws of physics. If your Stormbird is glued up, you'll have to store it elsewhere.

A few notes:
*The Legendary Machines organizer comes split into 4 quadrants for smaller printers, but there's also a single giant file if your printer can fit it (or if you'd rather split it at different spots than I did). The quadrant files have tabs to glue them together.
*The Legendary Machines organizer can be glued together, but don't do that with the other organizers! You'll want to be able to remove them to get at things.
*This organizer fits UNSLEEVED cards, with the exception of the small salvage cards. I love the feel of these "linen" cards, and they shuffle well without deforming, so even though I usually sleeve everything in sight, I just didn't feel the need for HZD.
*I discovered while troubleshooting another organizer that the Horizon game can have different sizes for the same box, depending on your lot#, either 11 1/8" square or 11 5/16" square. This fits the larger size box. If you have a gap around the edges, put some 5mm foam behind the lower (Thunderjaw) and right sections (Rockbreaker). The upper and left sections have clips to hold the wings that won't fit as well with the foam.
*The Stormbird is held by optional parts in case you want to store it elsewhere. There are wing clips on the upper and left sides behind the Deathbringer and the Fireclaw, and a mount for the body that pokes through a slot in the middle.
*This box is TIGHT, so you will need to shift or rotate minis as you fit others in. The Stormbird body can rotate and slide on a track as you add the minis around it. Please see my included pics for suggested orientations.
*To keep the pieces from shifting, there are clips to hold the sides of the organizer to the sides of the box. These clips have a thin (0.5mm) side and a thick (1mm) side. The thick side goes outside the box, and the thin side can be glued into the slots inside the organizer. The wing clips are the same way, with the wing mount facing inward.
*This organizer holds your minis securely, with room to protect your paint job. The only parts that should rub are the wing clips that hold the wings.
*THIS ORGANIZER IS NOT FOR TRAVEL OR VERTICAL STORAGE. The cups are deep, so it MAY hold your minis securely vertically, but no promises. I've got a few ideas for vertical storage, but those have to wait until I build the rest of the HZD organizers. That said, if you have any suggestions to make things more secure, please pass them along 🙂
*I am a "minimum viable product" designer, so this organizer is very basic. The wing clips and the removable bird base are the fanciest things I've ever made for an organizer. I'm also 100% open to improvement ideas. I don't charge for my work, so I can't offer payment, but you'll earn the gratitude of me and your fellow gamers 😁
