How to print?

I've only just began my foray into 3d printing and am loving every minute of it. I have tried printing a few miniatures for my D&D group, with some successes and a few failures. My question is this, How do you get something like the following to print? There is no support for the arms and they always seem to mess up because of this. Is there a way to add supports or should I alter some of the setting in Slic3r?

Yes. It is a Slic3r (or any other slicer) option.

View in PREVIEW mode to see the supports and ensure they will work.

Another option is to edit the object and "cut" the arms off of the body and print them separately. Then just glue the arms back on.
