Blizzard has talked about the future of World of Warcraft: Patch 8.2. In this, Tauren and Gnomes will receive their heritage armor!
At BlizzCon 2018, there was a lot of information about the future of World of Warcraft.

The heritage armor of the Tauren: Tauren are rather shamanistic and have a deep connection to their environment. No wonder, therefore, that the name “Tauren” is also an anagram of “Nature”. Their heritage armor appears primitive and spiritual, along with a thick totem on their back – whether this is part of the armor remains to be seen.
A release date for Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara has not yet been announced. However, we do not expect a release before April 2019.
More heritage armors for other races are expected to appear in the following patches. Blizzard will likely continue this until all old races have their own heritage armor.
With Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, which is set to release mid-December, two other races will receive their heritage armor:
