In the Unfinished tales it talks of the Wainriders attacking once they had the support of the Variags. Part of it says "This was composed not only of the war-chariots of the Wainriders but also of a force of cavalry far greater than any that had been expected". Obviously the whole group of that cavalry was probably not Variags, but that suggests that the preferred method of fighting for the Variags was when they were mounted on horses. Also wainriders seem more persian to me because they used war wagons/chariots to fight, whereas most nomadic groups like the mongols didnt use chariots.
