I just noticed on TMP that DBA was in 3.0
Where can I get a copy?
Is anyone selling pre-made armies?

By pre-made armies, do you mean painted and ready to play?

That would be awesome, but I'd settle for the bare metal

I would keep an eye open at TMP market place. I have been able to purchase unpainted collections buy these did need some additional items.
Manufacturers are slowly adding pre-packaged DBA 3.0 armies to their product lists.
Baueda (Italy) will have these soon: www.dreamsstudio.com/baueda/hostis.html
Essex still offer pre-packaged armies for DBA 2.2. Certain armies do not necessarily require a change, however others may need an extra pack or two to make them 3.0 compliant.
You might consider posing your question here for suggested manufacturers regarding your armies.

As way of clarification Essex offer DBA 3.0 army packs, in edition to their older 2.2 army packs. All of course are unpainted.

It is worth being aware of Donnington Miniatures, who sell their figures individually, as well as in army packs. (I don't know whether their DBA army packs are still for the version 2 army lists or whether they are now for version 3.) Their prices for individual figures tend to be no more expensive than for army packs, except that post and packing would be expensive for very small orders. If you know what you want, having seen the army list of the version that you intend to play, they might be a good option. www.donnington-mins.co.uk/Again, if you want to add figures in the future, for instance because the army list changes, they are a useful company to know.

Im surprised at how expensive the book is.
Is there a list of retailers that carry the rulebook in the US and the UK?

Well, I got my copy from On Military Matters - onmilitarymatters.com - at their booth at NJCon back in June, and would recommend their establishment.
Indeed, should I ever win the Powerball, OMM would be one of my first stops.

On military matters in the US carries rule book as people have noted. There is also Sue barkers book start ancient wargaming. The pricing is by the way comparable to the cost of other ancient rule books. Sue's book is a bit less it has all the rules, An example game, some ideas of how to make Up armies, create terrain, and it includes about 100 army lists. Shakespear, are you in the US.? I have a spare game board by "the terrain guy" that I could sell you. Send me email, beattie@umich.edu
By the way I just got three very nice armies from Essex, packaged for DBAs three. If you're looking for a painted army, check out eBay as they show up there quite regularly.
