My Warmaster High Elves' paint scheme was inspired by the Japanese Ii clan who's samurai all wore red armour and were therefore known as the Red Devils. However my elves wound up being referred to as Santa's Little Helpers ... still beat seven bells out of most of the opponents they met though :)
Sounds like your Red Devils are more successful than their namesakes from Old Trafford have been lately ☺

Yet there are still hardly any photos of the magnificent SYW range, which is a bit odd considering it is one of the foundation ranges and many of the troops come in various different poses.
