Hey everyone, this is a list I have just thrown together based on the idea of a daemon engine army of pure DG.
I am unsure if 6 Myphitic Blight-haulers are too many and possibly using 2 crawlers would be better.
Feel free to leave any opinions or improvements.

Plague crawlers are a better choices than blight haulers. Should have 3 crawlers and 3 drones before adding haulers.
And for warlord, the helm combo great with arch contaminator.
The Lord of contagion only way of going on melee is by deepstriking. In which case you have no support for him. A winged prince, escorting the drones would be much more effective (plate IS great on demon prince)

The helm doesnt extend the range of the warlord trait arch contaminator, because the warlord trait is not an ability on the datasheet of your warlord.

Where ? Citation please.

I remember that questions was on facebook and was positively answered by the Warhammer Community staff.

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/deathguard40k/comments/912tqf/does_fulgaris_helm_affect_archcontaminator/

I think this works.
Some relic rules say explicitly that a weapon replaces the original weapon from the datasheet. That is the crucial point. If you pick a relic, it belongs to your model. Your model and all its wargear is represented by a datasheet. If you write your army list, you have to notice wargear and relics as part of the sheet. You can't pick wargear without a datasheet. Anything else would be inconsequent.

But to be fair.

GW should clarify this in a FAQ.
