It's definitely something based on the Malcador.

Looks like just the Malc Tracks, the body looks entirely new... the engine block/back area alone look significantly higher than the standard version to me. That's not even looking at the big flame-throwy looking bits further forward lol

Ha! Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
The Hydro-variant of the Malcador has no main weapon but any troops within 6" get +1 CMD and the Feel No Pain special rule as they slake their thirst from a harsh and arid battlefield.

Wouldn't a fixed-forward flame-weapon type gun be very limited by the required trailer? On the real-world tanks it was no big deal as there was a turret, but in this case it seems like it would be designed to mess up the trailer every time it tried to line up a shot...
Maybe it's some sort of energy=weapon thingy that need an external generator for 'full power' but can drop it for mobility?

The WWII Churchill Crocodile used a trailer to house the flame-throwing equipment that fed the hull-mounted flamer. The turret functioned normally.

Its a weird design. A tank dragging some sort of generator behind... 
Could it be a new weapon? One that dehydrates the enemy and purifies the gathered water to supply the IG with a nice caffeine?

It's a tailgate party tank with hitched BBQ grill. All friendly units within 12 inches count as fearless as they driven to victory by the smells of BBQ.
And it shoots BBQ sauce.

Hm. I don't have the new Hellhound or the FW Hellhounds. How closely does that trailer resemble any of the tanks on the Hellhounds? I'm thinking it will shoot something other than fire. My two favorite guesses are tea and BBQ sauce. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's a giant smoke machine. For IG hair bands.

Could well be a tank for a flamer. But it may be some sort of generator for an energy weapon that can take down a phantom titan?

Yeah, that's what I immediately thought of when I saw this. The guys at Forgeworld see to be enamored of all the "Hobo's Funnies"/79th specialty vehicles, so I seriously doubt they would have missed the similarity.
