Suggestions for Support Settings in Slic3r

I am trying to use proper support settings in Slic3r to have these models print properly. They are a bird chess set on Thingiverse. The models with the lower tails seem to have issues printing and appear to need to be supported. I printed the PAWN bird and it did amazing at .2 mm slices with 2 perimeters.
Attempted printing of the King Model and the tail started to fall away and became blobs sorta.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

The models in question can be viewed here Bird Chess Set -Thingiverse

Dont use it. It ruins all details. I recommend meshmixer, download it and google quide how to support overhangs. It will take some time to use to it but meshmixer support is superior every way on slicer. Definetly worth of time.

Cura generates far better support structures than Slic3r.
