I am kinda new to Tyranids, I have only been playing for about six months so I don't have a large experience base but here are my thoughts.

I have used the swarmlord and he is incredibly slow and even with all those body guards I see him attracting a lot of attention meaning that by the time he gets there he will probably be a few guards short. He kills in close combat but a few rounds of running from him and shooting should prove to take him out. A few lascannon shots or rockets would add wounds pretty fast.
Your ripper swarms I assume are only there since you need troops but you don't much synapse on the filed meaning they will probably take a few wounds from that and just be a waste of points and wasting points is never good.
I assume you're planning on deepstriking quite a bit of those forces which leaves your ground forces open. If you are planning on using the Mawloc's like cannon balls that probably won't work out as well in reality as you will at best only get to shoot with them once maybe twice at best. If you plan on running the ravaners then they are a good choice in my experience. I wouldn't deep strike them as they can't assault that first turn and they will get torn up when getting shot.
You have a good amount of anti-tank shooting but I'm definitely into anti-infantry shooting too.
Overall, I think the list looks like it would be fun and with luck could win you the game but overall I don't think it's practical. At 2k your opponent will be fielding a lot of powerful stuff and I don't think your list works well enough together to handle it all.

Few big issues with the list.

Swarmlord cannot take a spore to drop in with.

You have no scoring troops. Swarms cannot hold objectives.

Assuming you play against fairly hard opponents mate, everything in this list except the elites section is messed up.

The swarmlord cannot take a mycetic spore.

Rippers are the worst troops in the codex. Tervigons+gaunts are a good troops choice. Many people also use warriors set up for shooting, big hordes of hormagants or termagants, or infiltrating/outflanking genestealers. But not rippers! You currently have nothing that can claim an objective, so in 2/3 of all missions you are hoping for a draw at best.

Mawlocs are worse than trygons. It isn't usually worth upgrading to a trygon prime.

Raveners have a lot of problems. If you deepstrike they get shot up before assaulting. I can see how they might work if you had some cheaper troops to screen them with. In the current army, they are vulnerable.

SO, to fix the list start with the troops. If you want that big swarmlord unit and 3 HS monsters in 2000 points, you are probably going to have to drop the elites choices to 2 models each (these should be sufficient).

Then, drop the rippers and the raveners. I'd get some gaunts and tervigons, these complement the HQ and HS choices as you start to put so much T6 on the board that it's hard to destroy the army. And tervigons are usually more efficient than just buying gaunts normally.

Hope that helps, I can see you have the idea of having the big monsters (my main opponent plays that way, and it is brutal) and you know how valuable the tank-busting elites ection is, but taking rippers as troops is no longer the way. Tervigons are tough synapse, and scoring units are a real priority in the current standard missions.

Trying to stay around what you are trying to make look at something like this perhaps.

2 x 14 gaunts

2 x 3 hive guard
