I was wondering if anyone here knew of a miniatures agnostic tabletop game where one could field armies of random monsters. The only example that I can think off the top of my head is Reign in Hell, but that's just a skirmish game.

Kings of War
Dragon Rampant
Restless Hordes
Hordes of the Things

Those are off the top of my head.....

The Kings of War army lists give some good opportunities for this. If you're talking armies of human-sized monsters, there's several stock armies (herd or orcs comes to mind) where rabble of mixed monsters could work fairly well within the existing stats.

For larger-than human monster hordes, there's ogre army lists.

For including large monsters in a regular list, There's a fair number of "Monster" profiles in each army that would cover most monster types and there are ally rules so you could mix a bit to get the profiles you need.

As mentioned above, Dragon Rampant is a good option, particularly if you want to stay closer to the Platoon size battle. The profiles are even more generic and minis-agnostic than KoW, so you can put most anything into a unit pretty easily.

Monsterpocalypse? Its slightly more on the board game side as its hex/square based i think but its ALL about monsters and giant robots.

Many games have a monster faction.

In Monsterpocalypse (which is a "board game", but in the same way hex battletech is a boardgame...) you can literally field completely random monsters as there are only two "armies" as such - Protectors and Destroyers. And within those the variation goes from giant mecha to godzillas to aztec gods in the thematic "sub-armies".
