Is Venethrax competitive or is that list with Venethrax Competitive? I personally feel like Venethrax wants to run more warjacks and get dropped into hordes to get more use out of terminal velocity.
In this list he is upkeeping lamentations for free and casting mortality twice a turn to let his army do some work. Which there is nothing wrong with that, I just see his strengths having more synergy with other themes.
Is it competitive? Depends what you drop it into I guess. I think there are better builds for him, and better casters for Slaughter Fleet.

Here is a Venethrax list I'm currently hoping to run soon:
Venethrax - Black Industries
-Withershadow
-Deathjack
-Malice
-Reaper
-Slayer
-Ripjaw
-Ripjaw
WW Siren
Aikos
-Harrower
Soul Trapper
Saxon Orrik
Necrotech
This list is slightly restricted by what I own but I feel like it has a lot of different angles for play. I'm newer to actually playing Cryx but from a Merc/Troll/Cygnar perspective he has a lot of tools in his kit.

Well mortality is definitely really good against both harbinger and Tharn, but that is all the mileage you will get from him. I still feel he makes a better black industries caster, especially against those groups as warjacks don't particularly care about the harbingers feat and the only thing that she would be stripping off is lamentations. For the tharn, something like a harrower under terminal velocity is going to do a lot of work.

Try it out and let us know how it goes. I mean it looks like a fun list to play, dont get me wrong. You asked for competitiveness. It might be that if they dont have a reliable way to deal with your tough.

Quick clarification: Venethrax's feat does not stop power up correct? Or empower for that matter?
