I was wondering if you can throw grenades at multiple targets when you use the Death Guard stratagem 'Blight Bombardment'.
Say 20 Plague Marines =20 grenades. Can I throw 10 at one unit and the other 10 at another?

I don't see any reason you can't declare targets as normal, unless there's some specific text in the stratagem?

Nope No text specificly stating your target.

"You can use this stratagem just before a friendly DEATH GUARD unit shoots or fires overwatch; when resolving the units shots, every model in the unit that is equipped wit ha blight grenade can throw one, instead of only one model in the entire unit being able to do so."

So yes, You can split targets. I run my Plague marines in squads of seven (you know.. fluff) 7d6 grenade hits usually evens out around the 20 odd dice for hit-rolling. My Favorite thing is to keep a Biologust Putrifyer near my squads. S4, D2 & 6+ to wound = a MW is VERY dangerous for just one CP.

Mind you: overwatch pre-declares your target.

Not that anyone has said anything to the contrary, specifically, but the strategem says it cam be used in overwatch so I felt the clarification was necessary.

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.

Sidebar, though, overwatch seems like the perfect time to use this stratagem. 20d6 grenade shots is gonna average 5-15 dead charging models depending on toughness and save. (obviously talking straight averages here. You could get 20 6s on your roll for number of attacks, and then roll 120 1s...at which point I would throw your dice directly in the trash)
