Wow, you're painting has been really improving these past few years. That Senmm is well done.
Thanks! I could say the same to you, your nmm in particular has become top notch, and your blending is soo smooth. I may need to check out your Patreon at some point
As far as Kimera goes, I like them a lot. I've only had them for about a month now so I'm still kinda getting familiar with them, but so far I've enjoyed messing with them. They are, as you said, very pigmented, which makes things like glazes a bit different because you have to thin them waaaay down if you're just wanting a subtle effect. The whole mix your color thing is fun, but kinda daunting at the same time. Definitely something you'd do for display pieces, not a whole army in my opinion. The finish is matte, almost Scale75 level of matte. I like it, it does make blending trickier though because any mistake is super obvious.
Those are just my thought on them after about a month of playing with them. I do like them a lot though and would recommend you try them out, unless you hate mixing your paints haha.

I love the purpley silver on the "Knight from Hell". If you could share how you did it and the paints you used
Thanks! I will do my best. I will warn you, it is a time consuming process. Basically, I just used black, white, a dark purple, and a light blue for the colors. Specifically, I used Eldandil Violet and Caribbean Blue from Scale75. Any black and white will work, I don't remember exactly which ones I used. As far as painting goes, it's just your standar nmm, but you want to incorporate your 'pop' colors (the blue and the purple) into the shadows and highlights. I used the purple in the shadows, and the blue in the highlights. There are a few ways you can go about doing this. You can glaze them in, or mix them into your shadows and highlights. I did a bit of both, just kinda depended on which I thought would work best at that particular spot.
That's more or less it, I'm not very good at explaining it, but hopefully that helps. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help.
