I saw the idea of the "Flying Circus" paraded around the beginning of 8th edition but haven't seen it actually manifested. What do you guys think of this list? It has 12CP, Magnus, and lots of gibblies coming at you!

My primary concern is the threat range... On long-range deployment maps, it may take an entire turn for the Circus to get in threat range of my enemy. With so many deployments, I'll go 2nd a good amount of the time, which means it could be a full 2 shooting phases before I'm able to get in threat range with a majority of the Circus. Warptime'd Magnus, Deepstriking Terminators, Changeling, and 4++ all offset this issue, but I don't know if it's enough.
