I think the answer is yes to converting the sprites palette. When I use Wintex to copy and paste the sprites from heretic.wad to my zdoom wad, they don't look right. So, at the same time as pasting the sprites (to get the names inserted) I write each sprite to a .bmp file also. Wintex will do this in a rapid fashion when a group of sprite entries is selected. Then, using wintex on my zdoom wad, I select the sprite names I've pasted there and use the "load entry from file" feature. Wintex will also do that in "group" fashion, just one strike of the enter key for each selected entry. As the .bmp files are imported, Wintex apparently corrects the palette. Everything is 100% correct at that point.
What's needed to have heretic enemies in a zdoom wad is to have the sprites, sounds, and appropriate entries in the sndinfo lump. Here's a paste of the part of my sndinfo which contains heretic ememy and weapon information:

Edit:
Oops, left out a very important part! How to get the Heretic monsters in the wad....you need to use the "spawnspot" command, I do it in a script, not sure if it can be done as a "special" for a thing.
Same for Heretic weapons and ammo. Frankly, Doom2 weapons are superior IMO but the Heretic weapons can be quite entertaining.
