Subraces unlocking requirements - Faction specific?

Just wanted to ask if it's been confirmed whether the unlock criteria for the new subraces can be done on both factions or not. For example, Wowhead says you will probably have to do some rep grinding with Highmountain Tauren to unlock them in BfA. Does this mean I can forget about it for now as I'm already exalted on my Alliance main, or will I have to grind to exalted on a Horde character as well?

Probably will have to grind it on the Horde...because the Tauren won't be on the Alliance side.

Wowhead's own info
It seems likely and logical that they will indeed be rep gated, and I'd imagine that yes if you want a Horde race then you must do the rep required on a Horde character.
I think if you've unlocked flying in Legion and have some progression on Argus you should be in pretty good shape. I'm sure Blizzard will announce more in the near future so you can work on unlocking the races in a timely fashion before the BfA xpac is launched.

I was wondering the same thing. Ive done everything on my ally hunter but I didn't do suramar on my horde pally. looks like may still have to...wish they would just make suramar available at 108.

Just a little tip, once you reach exalted the rep tokens from missions become BoA.
So, it's worth going that extra mile with the Nightfallen, then forward the tokens you get from missions on to your horde guy.
I really don't want to do Suramar again, so I'm holding off until the last possible moment.

I was not aware of that. Thank you. I started doing Suramar again anyways but the extra rep will speed it along quite nicely since the final chain doesn't open until 20/21k revered and I'm at 12R.

I think they changed that now, I got the final quest chain well before 20k, I think through normal questing it opened up at 14k ish.

They'll be changing that again too.
For anyone not looking forward to grinding the nightfallen rep again to re-do the suramar story (Which is otherwise AWESOME), in a future patch they'll be removing the rep-gateway requirements, allowing you to complete the entire nightfallen storyline in one swoop. Given the HUGE amount of quests present in that story (And the extra ones added in 7.1), its fair to say you can get to exalted just on the quests alone.

I'm hoping I can get away with only having the rep on one character. My main is alliance but I need me some Zandalari travel form ASAP so that gives me no high level ally characters once I transfer. I'd like a void elf but I don't want to level up another alt just to get the rep. I could wait to transfer until after BfA launches but I'd rather be a troll again ASAP.

Since the Zandalari, and Void Elves are new races, its highly unlikely there will be a rep grind attached to their unlock requirements (Unless they add new reps for them in BfA).
I don't understand the rest of your post though =/

It made much more sense in my head...
My main is a Worgen Druid because my guild went Alliance this expac. All my other characters are Horde and I'm planning to change my main back to Horde for BfA. So I have no Alliance characters with the Legion reps. Some people have guessed that the Velves and Lightforged might be linked to the Argus reps similar to how the Highmountain and nightborne are linked to their respective reps.
