This alone can turn the tide. Using cheap rhinos at chokepoints to force his mobs to either go around or stop and smash it will buy you the time to defeat him.

The other thing is you need to focuse fire on a mob until it breaks, then go to the next one.

Other things you can do:

Send one unit at a time to be one inch in front of his lead rank. Yes, they will die, but it forces him to stop and deal with them.

I have played green tide many times. I want to close the gap and smash you as quickly as possible. Forcing me to deal with terrain and bogging me down are extremely frustrating. Anything you can do to slow down and delay my mobs will help as it gives you more time to shoot them up.

Also, nobs do NOT always deal with dreadnoughts quickly. I loathe walkers. They can tie your mob up for several turns as your nob continues to whiff, and whiff, and whiff. Even on the charge, 4 attacks hitting on 4s = 2 hits. Str 9 needs a 4 to glance = 1 on damage chart. 2 out of 3 times you are not wrecking or destroying it. Now, you are locked in combat for what will feel like an eternity.

Only 3 to glance, except against ironclad. Sorry for nit-picking.

Foot armies have a hard time with t-fire cannons. Making the horde take dangerous terrain tests is NASTY as every model must roll independently. 1/6 of the time the nob gets hit.

Another big weakness of foot orks is AV 14. As mentioned, redeemers are a big problem for orks. Simply put, the only model that can really hurt it is the warboss' PK. You can just keep tank shocking their army, moving 12" and shooting the flame template out to kill boys.

Finally, make sure your friend is not cheaing. 180 boys is not possible at 1k points.
