Can you point me in the direction of how to reliably setup a cold wallet for ETH? Apparently much harder to find a guide for than BTC. A wallet generator I can run on a tails USB would be ideal.

An ETH wallet is just a private/publik keypair. You only have to generate a compatible pair [1] and write it in a piexe if paper. What makes it "cold" is that you dont place your keys sonwhere online (myetherwallet, exodus,etc) so it cant be hacked.
