Back in 2014 when the first edition of Counterblast was published one of the large war machines for the alien Edo faction was included in their army list but the model was never produced. Since then I have been able to upgrade our production facilities to handle a kit of this scale. Here is the original description in the first edition rulebook.

A larger and more powerful version of the Scutter, the Edo Strider can wade
its way into the thick of forces, laying waste to them with the devastating Arc powered burst attacks. Striders are piloted by a trio of Underlings working in unison to coordinate attacks via psionic link. One crewmate pilots the war machine while the other two focus on operating the weapon system consoles. The Strider comes equipped with devastating Arc Burst rockets in addition to its Arc Ray Cannon and powerful metal pincers.

Concept art for the Strider

Since then I ran a Kickstarter for the BIKES & BOTS models in 2019. It was only for digital STL files but included the Strider. Since then I have reworked the files a bit and tweaked a couple of things. Now the plan is to print the parts, make silicone moulds and produce the model as a resin kit suitable for skirmish games like Counterblast, Stargrave, and Rogue Stars.
