Magister militum (Latin for "Master of the Soldiers", plural magistri militum) was a top-level military command used in the later Roman Empire, dating from the reign of Constantine. Used alone, the term referred to the senior military officer (equivalent to a war theatre commander, the emperor remaining the supreme commander) of the Empire. In Greek sources, the term is translated either as strategos or as stratelates.
Establishment and development of the office
The title of magister militum was created in the 4th century, when Emperor Constantine the Great deprived the praetorian prefects of their military functions. Initially two posts were created, one as head of the foot troops, as the magister peditum ("Master of the Foot"), and one for the more prestigious horse troops, the magister equitum ("Master of the Horse"). The latter title had existed since Republican times, as the second-in-command to a Roman dictator.
Under Constantine's successors, the title was also established at a territorial level: magistri peditum and magistri equitum were appointed for every praetorian prefecture (per Gallias, per Italiam, per Illyricum, per Orientem), and, in addition, for Thrace and, sometimes, Africa. On occasion, the offices would be combined under a single person, then styled magister equitum et peditum or magister utriusquae militiae ("master of both forces").
I was struggeling to find some proxy Bloodletters and Bloodthirster in 6mm so tried these 10mm models and I think they work.

Looks like I had some sound issues at one point so I have cut out a portion of the vid that was just me browsing the MM site, nothing interesting.

Magister militum (Latin for "Master of the Soldiers", plural magistri militum) was a top-level military command used in the later Roman Empire, dating from the reign of Constantine. Used alone, the term referred to the senior military officer (equivalent to a war theatre commander, the emperor remaining the supreme commander) of the Empire. In Greek sources, the term is translated either as strategos or as stratelates.
Establishment and development of the office
The title of magister militum was created in the 4th century, when Emperor Constantine the Great deprived the praetorian prefects of their military functions. Initially two posts were created, one as head of the foot troops, as the magister peditum ("Master of the Foot"), and one for the more prestigious horse troops, the magister equitum ("Master of the Horse"). The latter title had existed since Republican times, as the second-in-command to a Roman dictator.
Under Constantine's successors, the title was also established at a territorial level: magistri peditum and magistri equitum were appointed for every praetorian prefecture (per Gallias, per Italiam, per Illyricum, per Orientem), and, in addition, for Thrace and, sometimes, Africa. On occasion, the offices would be combined under a single person, then styled magister equitum et peditum or magister utriusquae militiae ("master of both forces").
A third possible motivation, though one I find unlikely, is that Attila actually sought to make good on the honorary title of Magister militum (master of soldiers) that Aetius had conferred upon him when their relationship had been rosy ... ... .
It says ...There are few other examples in the NearEast ... “If he was strategos, he may have been governor of the province; Both strategos and stratelates translate the Latin title magister militum, which refers to senior military officers,” he continued.
In Valens’ absence, command of the eastern half of the Empire fell to his magister militum—master of soldiers, or commander-in-chief—a man by the name of Iulius ... magister militum of Illyria again.
... – Галла Плацидия, и которая по просьбе крупных африканских землевладельцев, подвергавшихся набегам берберских плем1н, назначила магистра армии (magister militum) Бонифация комитом (графом) Африки.
... и прекратил свои военные действия, сопряженные с грабежами, только тогда, когда константинопольский император Аркадий наградил его высокой должностью – магистром армии Иллирика (magister militum).
... time of Anastasius I the comitatenses field army came under the command of the magister militum per Orientem, and the palatini (guards) under the two magistri militum praesentales in Constantinople.
