I really wish that Games Workshop had used the Traveller rulesystem for Dark Heresy. It is a much better system, and with the Central Supply Catalogue, a lot of 40k weapons are done (generically, of course).
In any case, has anyone posted a conversion anywhere on the web?

Bushi d6 - Kamizan
Kamizan
Kamizan
is literally “God Mountain”. A large temple to the kami resides here, and the
mountain is considered holy throughout the entire island. The kami of the mountain is named Orizen, and
he is worshipped along with the other kami at the temple located here.
Most
people of the Empire go on a pilgrimage to Kamizan at least once in their life.
A steep stairway goes up near the top of the mountain, from which a grand vista
of the area can be seen.
The
priests keep the area in good repair. Services are held daily, and many monks
train here in both religious and martial skills. The Temple is very well
defended, as most of the monks double as soldiers.
It is
said that the oni would dearly love to desecrate the temple and kill all of the
people here, but it seems that none of their underground tunnels connect to the
area.
It is
said that if anyone is foolish enough to attack the temple, that Orizen himself
may shake the earth and swallow up their army.

* = Combat skills are not allowed specializations.
Skill Specializations
Specializations are focused aspects of a skill. For example, Crafts specializations might include Smithing and Carpentry. One skill die can be spent to gain three specialty dice. Combat skills don’t have specializations.
Example: A character with a Charm of 3D chooses Tea Ceremony as her Specialty of Etiquette. She spends one skill die in it, but records it as Tea Ceremony 6D on her character sheet. She has an Etiquette skill of only 3D. This is the only time the 2D skill limit can be exceeded during character creation.
Languages
Characters know one language for every die they have in Wit. Player characters should probably choose Imperial as their first language.
Available languages: Imperial, Naga, Neko, Nezumi, Saru, Bakemano, and Oni.
Imperial serves as the common tongue for the civilized races, while Bakemano is the common tongue of monsters. Neko was often used in historical official documents.

Bushi d6 - Sorcerer's Tools
As with anything, this is subject to change.
If anyone has some cool ideas to replace the Cloak and Staff, I'd love to hear them. They may stay, but something more in keeping with Japanese myth would be great.
Sorcerer’s Tools
Some
special enchanted items are of use only to those capable of using spells.
Activating the bonus granted by an item does not count as an action. When found
as treasure, a sorcerer must attune the item before he can use it. This requires
the passing of three days while keeping the item close.
The Cloak grants +2D
to the Sorcery skill test required to use the Cloud Chariot and Teleport
spells.
The Magic Mirror (Makyoh) grants +2D to the Sorcery skill test required to
use the Beast Tongue and Charm spells.
The Turtle Shell grants
+2D to the Sorcery skill test required to use the Clairvoyance and Divination
spells.
Prayer Strips (Ofuda) grant
+1D to any Sorcery skill test when used for the spell inscribed upon them. They
burn away when used.
The Spell Staff grants
+1D to Sorcery once per day.
