I think it might be because their poses are very "we should have weapons"-y. They don't really look like wild baboon demons charging to kill people, they look like they're holding clubs or spears.

Look at any art of Demogorgon to see something more "Demon Baboon".

See this guy for an example of a "baboon-y" pose:

This is very true.

I would go with either clubs , maces or (Aztec-like) obsidian weapons. And perhaps small- stone or metal- shields.

Sticks, Rocks and Poo. Beefcake's idea is just to good to pass on, especially since wargames tend to be taken more and more serious these days. Bring back the fun ;)

I voted other.
I wouldn't buy 15mm figures either way, but the posed look of them and the subject matter definitely suggests fantasy weapons to me. 

I kind of agree with VoidValue that the sculpts almost look like they were intended to have melee weapons and them for some reason they were left off.

Spears and shields, flaming swords and bucklers, whips and daggers.
