gordo - I have heard of a list where you take Thag2 and Blightbringer with the intent to caster tank the opposing army. I imagine you could build this but it seems like it still would be taken apart by a savvy opponent. But you make a good point about other defensive options simply being better than Ornery even for this situation. Though Counterblast does allow a ranged option and before the model takes damage, it usually suffers from the same pain points of pour stats on legion models. frumiousbandersnatch - I tend to think even if the savvy player has to send something in to 'eat up the animus', at least that helps consume resources of the other player's army. At least that would be something. But I wholly agree with you. I would rather Ornery change to a native ability, those beasts have some sort of rider to make it impactful or just change it all together.

The "let's make Thags2 a super star" list has always been a silly pipe dream, but he is awesome fun all the same. I tried it for a bit: Chieftain for Veteran Leader, Blightbringer for bonuses, Protector for more bonuses, Hellmouth and Seraph to get him there faster, and then whatever defensive animus you want. It still loses, hard, but it makes you feel good.
