So i have recently though up this question upon Orcs and their weapons:
How would you go about painting a weapon that has seen many battles?

It would have 5-months old Blood on it, 2 days old Blood and fresh Blood. I have easily painted Fresh blood and splatter (used to be red paint with 'Ardcoat, now Blood for the blood God). That's easy. Has anyone painted old/coagulated blood, that might be old of a few days or even Years?

I have googled to come up with nothing, so personal examples/direct links would be appreciated. Anything to do with old Blood basically =)

Try searching for dried blood instead of old blood.
Basically though blood browns as it ages. First it loses its sheen, then darkens from crimson through to almost terracotta.

Unfortunately I can't give you any paint formula as I do most of my painting and mixing by eye without writing down exactly what I do (my Art teacher hated me cos I could never show my process :p).

Blood for the blood god with certain amounts of mournfang browns looks like what you need.
