Disks of Tzeentch

[jprp]

I was just thumbing through ROC and i`m unclear if you can have a shoal of Discs without riders, the main description implies you can but in the Demonic legion of Tzeentch section it says they can fight without riders but says you can take as many as you need to mount your troops which seems to imply it can fight on after losing a rider rather than starting without one.
I was always of the impression that you could use them as unmounted creatures and as such i am part way through painting up an extra 6 on 40mm bases (which is how "screamers" are currently used).

Any thoughts?

I always assumed the intention was that Discs could be taken autonomously. Are Discs supposed to be treated as 'riding animals'? If they are, then there's no way to have a riderless Disc without deploying it riderless.

I assumed that they were just treated as riding animals (+1 to armour save, etc) and that without a rider they would just fly into the distance, never to return, just like some giant colourful Frisbee.
