Thanks to Dengar for sending us this heads up:”In the latest issue of Games Workshops monthly magazine White Dwarf (issue 255) i found this ad. It didn’t contain any new info about the games, but the Saruman pic was cool. Unfortunatly the quality of the pic is quite bad.“Click the images to see larger versions:![\[ Click for Larger Version \]](http://img-www.theonering.net/images/022701_full_sm.jpg)

Anyone else noticed how the tone of most news articles about the LOTR films has changed since a year ago? That ‘Aren’t these people who go on about Elves silly?’ snigger that used to underly most of the mainstream news reports has mostly disappeared. : ) And we all know what that means.
The debate continues on whether Aragorn is charging along with elves or men in this Helm’s Deep clip from the official teaser trailer. (page 5, first image)

Here is some more fuel for the fire from Spy Tocata:
“Having been an elf at Helm’s Deep, yes, those must be elves. They have the distinctly Elven swords (curved blade, long handle) we used, and are definitely wearing Elven battle armour, which is bloody painful I can tell you. I’m tall and gangly, and it was tight enough to keep me from breathing properly for the many days I was in it. Orcs are much more comfortable, as are Rohans & Gondorian Rangers. Elving sucks!“
So, from someone on the set, we get further confirmation Elves are at Helm’s Deep.
