It really depends on how fast Anu is able to churn out those Warforged bodies. It may very well end up being post conquest.

What's the total population of Sathar and Mardosh? Because 9000 seems too small of a number when they have some centuries worth of living dead.

Even with that we're probably going to be playing catch-up. We're talking multiple city states each with hundreds of thousands of citizens. King's Landing is small compared to the old Essosi cities.
It's not all of the people who ever died there who are resurrecting, just the ones who died at the Fall of Sarnor and a few exceptions like that ancient queen.
So, maybe a couple hundred thousand, given what city sizes look like in Planetos? Yes that's still a lot.

It's not the total number of Undead, but the number who are sentient and sane.
9,000 might be more than enough to cover a city. Or it could take several months of production per month to keep up with the conversions. Too soon to tell.

So hold on. As much as I love having our Necrons why aren't we making empty human (assuming they are human here) body (without souls) from the forges and letting them possess it? It would help with he numbers no?

9,000 is not a city, it's a town. If we're going by the population of Sarnor just before its fall we're talking about Essos in a golden age, where the cities eclipsed King's Landing (and even post Century of Blood the cities still eclipse King's Landing). That's more along the lines of hundreds of thousands each.
The reason Sallosh has a population of 10,000 is because it's the last refuge of a post-genocide Sarnori who were constantly held down by roving Dothraki hordes.

I meant cover those who are eligible within a city. Sentient and sane is a prerequisite.
I don't think we can? Either we load a spirit into the Forge-grown servitor while it's growing in the Forge or it attracts one naturally. Trying to interrupt that process seems like something which would definitely require a significant Research Action, perhaps even modification to the Forges.
We can build the Warforged to be empty receptacles.

The difference being it would still be possession first and foremost.
And corporeal Undead would still need a research to re-bind them to these new fleshy bodies, with who knows how much Progress.
The difference to Warforged is that the latter already has the part with "binding soul to a body" down.

@DragonParadox are templates inheritable? Like say a human had the advanced template. Would his kids also get it?

In that case fair enough, though I still expect Anu to be working for several months to cover everyone.
Warforged are more useful.

Ahh so convenience then...I get that. We already have a dearth of research actions so it would be a poor idea...plus the forge corruption.

It's expensive and requires a ritual.
Warforged are basically factory standardized. Not every human body will be compatible to the soul trying to inhabit it, requiring adapting the soul to it. The construct however can accept whatever you put in there.
Many templates are inherited, it's actually part of the fluff for most of them to mention if they are inherited or acquired. Advanced is one of the former, but that does not mean it's always acquired just that it can be.

Oh okay...so not a good idea to slap templates onto citizens then. I was hoping that inheritance wasn't the case.

I wonder if the Sarnori would be willing to pay extra to have their soldiers transferred into more combat ready Warforged.
Mithral and Adamantine Warforged cost 300 IM each rather than 225 IM like the other baseline models, but the first is ideal for a ranged combatant and the second is great for melee. That said, Steel Warforged are quite good, too, and don't cost any more than normal.

The wealth seized from Vaes Dothrak should be more than enough to pay for everything, imho. Centuries of pillaging and looting right there. The Sarnori should have taken all of it back.

Yup, when Sather fell the other Sarnori cared more about who would reap its spoils than of who took it out. They were only really united by voting on a High King, and his power wasn't all powerful even among the kingdom.
Only time we see it really excerised is when he called on what Sarnori armies were left to fight Dothraki khals and we know how that ended.
I imagine most soldiers of Mardosh will choose forms more suited for combat, and assuming all goes right we will loot plenty of wealth to make it happen.

It used to be. I doubt the vengeful Sarnori undead left anything there, so most of it is probably in Sarnath by now.

Depends.
The regular parts, magister villas and all that will be worth a fine sum.
But I have no idea how stolen idols and statues and such will be counted and if they are valuable in an easily sellable way.
