'Carrion Reanimation' after a large battle with many corpses left behind can get you as many as 100 Soulless (with equipment, from battle corpses in contrast to 'reaper' corpses or the like) in a single remote cast. That's very commander-time-efficient.

There are ways to get lots of undead priests at once ('Life After Death' + cold/poison aura + indy priests packed up against the aura holder), for instance. This might be considered cheese, considering that the priests probably should have second thoughts about where you're telling them to stand, and that it also negates their upkeep.
