My husband has a visitor's 10 year visa. Do I still have to file the i-130? What other forms would I need?

You have to petition your husband by filing form I-130. His visa that may be a tourist visa is irrelevant.

If your husband intends to reside and stay in the U.S., you should submit for his green card/lawful residency. This will include the I-130 and many other forms and proof of qualifications. You should talk with an attorney to clear up all the details and confirm his qualifications.

Well, if you want your husband to move to the US and work here, you should file I-130 and if he is currently in the U.S., you should also file I-485, I-131, and I-765, along with all the required supporting forms and documentation. Please read the instructions to each form very carefully.

If you're a USA citizen and your husband wants to stay here permanently, then it's a good idea to sponsor him for a green card. There are many forms involved and I-130 is the required visa petition.
