Card PDFs.

I see there is plans to have the early cards available as PDF (or other files) available.
Is there any time frame on that?
– would be great to be able to buy models from the LGS and be able to paint and play with them the same day.

additional/related: when the older packs started containing the cards, was the packaging changed to reflect this? (If so, I can figger out which boxes on the shelf at the LGS don’t have cards in them and just grab them all in a single Warlord Direct order and put them on the shelf with the models).

supplemental : is it okay to ask for an image of the front of a card to tide me over until they are available or I get the card set sent over from the other side of the world?
