Hoo boy, did this open some venues.

As a universal rule, Cities of Sigmar armies can grab a unit of Stormcasts as part of their army for every three normal units they hold. Sure, this will rob them of any Stormhost keywords and traits, but you instead gain the city's keyword and special rules. While we won't go into the full specifics of how these cities and forces work, here are some basic ideas.
*{{AOSKeyword|Hammerhal}}: Fun note here - Aventis Firestrike grants a free CP on the first turn if he's in a Hammerhal army. In addition, any banners (which you'll lack with exception of the Knight-Vexilor) can grant additional CPs and your entire army ignores battleshock while on their side of the board. You can generally pick anything on this end and not go wrong, but do beware how squishy your humie/stuntie/elfy friends are.
*{{AOSKeyword|Anvilguard}}: Nothing to really support you here. Stormcast aren't really the sort that hurt easily in Battleshock, and going {{BLAM}} on one is a terrible idea. Being able to delete units via Vitriolic Spray is good, and only costs around 270 points (320 if you add Emerald Lifeswarm for maximum grief).
*{{AOSKeyword|Tempest's Eye}}: Very keyed towards alpha-striking. Whether it's getting your Vanguard in place to lay down fire early or helping throw Prosecutors and Paladins right in the enemy's face, you really wanna make that turn 1 speed-boost worth your while. Also, remember that the Kharadron Overlords can also cover shooting since they can also be included.
*{{AOSKeyword|Hallowheart}}: Sacrosanct Chamber says hello. Each Evocator squad can now cast Empower twice a turn, allowing them to boost even more of their own, while the Lord Arcanum can try their special spell and then fire an amped-up Arcane Bolt.
*{{AOSKeyword|The Living City}}: While not the same as your normal deep-strike, this does give you some fun venues for sniping flanks. Wanted to make your Dracothain Guard fire and then smack up? Want your Judicators to volley fire and then slip away? This is no better way for it.
*{{AOSKeyword|Greywater Fastness}}: Don't forget your Lord-Ordinator! While Stormcasts lack much in the way of artillery, your Lord-Ordinator can absolutely bolster what war machines you do pack. His command ability doesn't hurt either, especially if you take some more Stormboys to act as a wall for your war machines.
*{{AOSKeyword|The Phonecium}}: Kinda hard to work with here. Stormcast are expensive. Sure, you can send packs of chaff to fuel your big boys' strikes, but that's just whack. Aetherwings can make decent enough chaff, tho, and the anti-charge ability can give you some control about when they die. Plus, you can paint them as mini Phoenixes!
