The new edition is available here (http://www.helldorado.fr/regles/la-voyageuse-nouveau-profil.php)
She loses Maverick, and gains Charisma and Prestige (Troopers from one faction of your choice). She also gets an increased CMD of 4 (instead of 1), and her weapons get the abilities Reach/2 and Eager, as well as the piercing keyword (in addition to the slashing she already had).
As for her Orders:
Enchanted weapons (Passive, 1 Permanent CMD)
One member of her Company (including herself) gets the Spiritual Damages weapon ability until the end of the game.
Judgement of God (same ability as on her original version)
All enemy models with a DEF of 5 or more against which the Traveler performs a melee attack have their DEF lowered to 4 during that melee combat.
Hell is her domain
During the Terraformation phase, once all the tokens have been placed and revealed, the Traveler may decide to give any of her tokens a Value of 3.
The price of blood
If her company is composed of troopers that are not from the Mercenary faction (thanks to her Prestige ability), enemy Officer and Independant models from the faction of those troopers gain the Arch-Enemy/2 (the Traveler) until the end of the game.
Does that mean we may see a new "widely available" sculpt as well in the near future?

Yes, and the sculpt is already realized.

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing this.
Are either profile legal to be used, or is the Officer version the official version now?
Citation de: 2.0 le Mars 25, 2008, 03:02:19 AMAre either profile legal to be used, or is the Officer version the official version now?
In official tournaments, the second profil is the only one you can use, but both sculptures are legal. At least that's the way the game designers would like the evolution of a model to work.
Thats interesting, so its unlike the Warmachine Epic/regular versions of their models. Moves the storyline along which is cool and good that both sculptures are legal since we're actually spending money on those :)
Also makes you think on your feet, since if some have been using her for a while, they might need to adopt new strategies now.
well I'm happy that we are getting another model and a new profile . but really unhappy about the old profile being out of official tournaments.... heck!!! we are still to play regulary in the UK don't even talk about tournaments as we don't even have the complete book translated yet ........ but will still buy this second one and probably will make my frineds in friendly games play no only the old profile but the second as well the two of them in the same company ( joking I'm )
As you say, you haven't had a translated version of the book yet. Nobody has any idea on how the English-speaking tournament season will start (pick up wherever the French season is at? Start over?), so there's no telling what version you'll be able to play when official tournaments come to you.
Thank you for posting the translation! I was hoping that there would be a model that we may be able to get. As for profiles, my friends and I will probably allow the use of either in friendly play.
Nothing is frozen for the moment regarding the avaibility of this miniature. Geof (one of the conceptor of this game) just noted that Asmodee should be abble to propose it during the GenCon Paris.
After the way it will be sold in France (and abroad ?) is still not determined.
Hope the model is available alone , not bundle into another book, So those that don't got the french book can have one this time ...
the independent profile was a bit to good for the points. but this officer version it seem as good or better

do not get your hopes high... to the stupefaction of many the second version will not be a commercial product and will for the most part only be available at major events (tournaments/fair). We will be lucky to get even a sniff of it anywhere outside France. Odd choice to say the least!
>:( >:( >:( >:( I gonna hope you are wrong on that one .... if not .... are you gonna be at gencon this april ???
unfortunately I'm not wrong, the promo aspect remains. I was considering already going to GenCon but at this stage I don't know. I doubt one can pick up numerous copies anyway.
Oh well !!!
Will use the old one with the new card them
C'est la vie
Whilst I understand and appreciate the reasoning for these event only Miniatures, it does 'put me off' the Game a little.
As I have health issues that prevent me attending such events (especially on short notice) a lot of the time, I find myself wanting to complete my collection and the only recourse open to me is Ebay (and paying exhorbetant fees) to get my hands on miniatures such as The Traveller.
Having just spent a small fortune on all the Mercenaries I now realize there is one I most likely will never be able to get.
Its a shame really, it spoils my (and no doubt other peoples) collecting enjoyment.
Well I've managed to get one for one of the Fanboy three events (not sure which one yet have to sort that out with jackie), but yeah I'll try and source some more so if you guys can't make it you at least get a chance to try for it some other time. Oh and by the way the scuplt is awesome.

That sort of does and doesn't make me feel better about it at the same time . . . . . . . .
Trying to please people I've managed to get hold of another two (three all together) for fan boy tournies. So Fingers crossed that everybody that plays at the shop will get hold of one through one means or another. BTW cheers Graham.
Only saying this to keep peoples moral up on this point as this is the only part of this game that is in the slightest bit annoying.
