Titans VS Thunderlord

Titans have good resistance to mind control. And yes, I agree that their ranged attack isn't very useful. Firstly, as mentioned, it's easy to block (mages don't have a very high chance of inflicting a stun, and consequently, tactics), and their initiative isn't very high either (although miniatures can help). Their high hit points subtly suggest that this creature isn't afraid of taking a beating and would rather have the titans attacked than some genies or mages. So, if they weren't ranged attackers, they would be used more effectively as tanks (with a little more speed), much more effectively than they are used as ranged attackers. That's how I see it.
