Am I right in assuming that you cannot use the characters from the conversion kit with the RTL app as you cannot add the conversion kit to the collection manger in the app?
Conversion kt and RTL
Yes and No. You are correct that you can't add the Conversion Kit. Hero & Monster expansions have replaced the Conversion Kit.
Having said that, if for some reason you really wanted to use the CK version of heroes, you could simply add whatever H&M expansion they exist in, and then select them, but use the CK version instead.
Keep in mind that the app will often target certain heroes during travel, etc., and it may do that based on whatever attributes they have (based on H&M values) versus what the CK has. There is the potential that your playing experience may be "off". Nevertheless, you can still do it.
Thanks for the reply and info.
I'm after using Hugo the glorious in particular and I believe he was originally in Dungeon Quest. To your knowledge does he feature in any of the H&M expansions?

He's not in any that I've seen. I threw together a google sheet full of D2e info a while back. Here's a snipit of it if it helps.
Edit: I know there are some holes in the monster/quest data. I got that off of the D2e wiki and it lacked the info at the time (still may?).

Thanks guys for the help. Great info, guidance and resources to boot!
Hopefully Hugo may his his moment one day?!
Currently, there are 12 D1e heroes that have not been released in any form for D2e. They are as follows:
Aurim
Bogran The Shadow
Brother Glyr
Eliam
Hugo The Glorious
Kirga
Landrec The Wise
Laughin Buldar
Mad Carthos
Red Scorpion
Tobin Farslayer
Varikas The Dead
Unfortunately, I doubt we will ever see them for D2e, as I doubt we will ever see any further physical content for the game.
I use the CK heroes but with just the base game and just pick one of the 8 heroes as a proxy.
Reason I do this is because if u select the newer versions it will also assume u have other monster sets and possibly other tiles.
You just have to ensure that the hero proxy is the same archetype so u can keep track of skill development.
To me it's a very inexpensive way to have a lot more hero choice
