I think my main issue would be finding them in the morning, as my army is 2/3rds Tanith and they're unlikely to wish to stay in the open.
My life would be a 28mm Easter egg hunt.
My dogs would have to much fun fighting my models if they came to life. It wouldn't end to well for models I'm afraid so their better off staying in their cases.

I own Imperial Titans.. I'm fairly certain a warlord could burn down my house if the weapons these things come with work they way they are supposed to..
I also own Blood Ravens.. so they'd "aquire" a lot of my stuff as "Gifts"..
My Heresy Marines would be murdering the ork and nid Commissions I've got going on.. and it would make me rethink very carefully about starting a 30k traitor legion..
And my small contingent of Pyro maniac Sisters of Battle would probably take off after the cat..
PPl who optimise their list as if they're heading to a tournament when in reality you're just gonna play a game for fun at your FLGS are bascially the Kanye West equivalent or 40K.
I am more concerned what a 28mm D&D archlich could do.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
Sisters of Battle and IG probably try and kill my Red Corsairs, and free the marines I'm trying to sell, and wipe out my High Elves, who would be suddenly shocked that there is a lack of magic, and bows would likely do just squat against all the power armor.
My beloved 40K armies:
Children of Stirba Order of Saint Pan Thera
I would have Squads of TIE Interceptors, TIE Advanced and TIE Bombers strafing the epic fight between my High Elves and Khador, before Teclis comes to say hello. I feel like those two armies are fairly balanced against each other (minus the Elves having Teclis, Tyrion and Allarielle).
There would be Space Marine Scouts purging the "Primitive Eldar and Imperialist Renegades"... And than a mess of Malifaux monsters. Would need cameras mounted in the apartment to fully enjoy the terror of bedtime.

I would be alittle perturbed waking up to find my shelf has been turned into a fortified position. What with the IG and the Loyalist Iron warriors in trenches and bunkers, behind tiny void shields. I'm sure that the Mechanicus would be found in the process of taking apart something or worshiping my laptop.
Vorradis 75th "Crimson Cavaliers" 8.7k
The enemies of Mankind may employ dark sciences or alien weapons beyond Humanity's ken, but such deviance comes to naught in the face of honest human intolerance back by a sufficient number of guns.
They'd have to deal with shouts of "Painted?? You want painted??? Then TIDY UP THIS GARAGE. And CLEAN OFF THOSE MOULD LINES!" before I went back to sleep.
Not possible; I have a good sized Khorne army sitting on a table (9 crushers, 3 skull cannons, one throne, 4 Bloodletters, 2 heralds, Prince and 2 bloodthirsters) sitting right next to The Masque of Slaanesh. She is still in one piece.
She might be good in the fluff, but not good enough to beat a full Khorne army.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Due to work, I can usually only ship any sales or trades out on Saturday morning. Please trade/purchase with this in mind.
It would be rather boring at my place, as my armies are kept in separate storage bins. There might be some problems with the Skaven using their wacky warmachines to break out, though...
Armies: Space Marines, IG, Tyranids, Eldar, Necrons, Orks, Dark Eldar.
I am the best 40k player in my town, I always win! Of course, I am the only player of 40k in my town.
Grey Seers skitterleaping all over the house would certainly be amusing. Dragons flying all around. I'd have to watch out for the Vampire Counts though... Nurgle Daemon funk, ewww!

I'm rather lucky in this scenario. My out in the open models are a horde of Bretonnians, a few regiments of Empire, a small group of Stormcast and some wood elves. My chaos and tyranid models are in thick cases buried in the closet and my tomb kings and high elves are stuffed in plastic bags.
The majority of my models are just going to have chats about which section of the shelves/computer desk belong to their respective rulers as their new territory and wonder why the majority of them seem to be sporting grey tabards and armor.
The only bad part is the elves. The wood ones are going to run to the yard and trees outside and the high elves are probably going to suffocate in that bag....

Dying laughing right now haha
I'd have a few hundred rat men running around sniffin for cheese and warpstone!
There was a movie in the late 90s that I thought was SO COOL as a kid it was called small soldiers here's the link to the preview... Then go watch it!
Haha, loved that movie! (Needs a sequel where the bada** toy soldiers are actually the protagonists and not a bunch of emo teens with brain issues)
This thread actually reminds me of the indian in the cupboard. Another classic.

Yeah...those screams coming from my boxes and cases might be the reason I wake up to imperial cannonballs and a swarm of medieval projectiles coming at me....
I wake up to lots and lots of screaming. The models that have heads attached to their torsos live long enought to suffer the agonny of realizing they are dismembered. The ones in the cases suffocate to death because they can't escape.
I'd awaken to the sounds of military jets and WW2 planes (in 1/32 scale) screaming over the Warmahordes,Bolt Action, Star Wars and 40K minis try to fend off the Zombicide/Zombies/Last Night on Earth/Tyranid/Starship Trooper bugs apocalypse.
In the far corner, Marneus Calgar would be drawing up a display of the battle lines with what had been my Epic and Flames of War minis.
Meanwhile, there'd be a dwarven forge dungeon constructed underneath the table, filled with the monstrosities of D&D, Chainmail, Descent, Mageknight and Warhammer Quest.
Beating at the door to the game room, would be legions of Mechwarrior battlemechs, eager to join the fray within.
And skulking amid this war would be a wounded squad of half-painted Robotech minis, looking for their lost Wave 2 brethren....
