I would advice not to take sloth 2. The Vanhere are capital only and cost a considerable amount of resouces. You risk not being able to make very many Vanhere, with sloth. You don't need production, but I would not take sloth.

I advice a water bless with these guys. They already do so much damage that the extra fire attack is unneeded. With water they get 4 attacks a round instead of 2. Extra attacks bring down the opponents defense so the attack bonus of the fire isn't needed as much either. They kill things very fast with water.

I like your idea of include e4 in the bless.
